Eating the crusts

[fishfinger]

Had one of those from Pizza Hut recently when alcohol was clouding my judgement.

Tbh, I'm not sure you could describe what was in the crust as 'cheese', that's for sure. It was like moulded rubber.

I think it's some sort of incredibly thick cheese "sauce" i.e. cheese mixed with cement powder.

A place I worked years back had a cafe on the ground floor. Customer getting toast first thing never wanted the crusts, so I used to collect bags of them at dinnertime and fed the seagulls and swans. Waste not want not.

Mrs Dess doesn't like crusts so I always cut them off for her. Her hair is straight.

A good thicc crust is a wonderful thing. Hafta race in our house to get them.

I heard it was white hair and curly teeth, though. Progressing nicely with former; eagerly awaiting advent of latter.

I like crusts. There's nothing nicer than the traditional baked loaf with its chewy crust, contrasting with the doughy fluffiness of the bread interior.

The expression "upper crust" alledgedly comes from who used to get the non-burnt parts of the loaf ... also, the wealthy would eat from bread "planchers" instead of plates and the peasants would get them after the meal.

Oops "trencher"

A trencher (from Old French tranchier; "to cut") is a type of tableware, commonly used in medieval cuisine. A trencher was originally a flat round of bread used as a plate, upon which the food could be placed to eat.

Not crusts particularly, but my resident foxes have shown no interest in stale bits of my lovely wholemeal bread I chucked out of the window.

The French baguette is apparently designed to deliberately max-out the "croustillance" .

I love the crusts. Especially the nobby bit of a baguette.

I’ll sometimes stand at the bin eating the kid’s uneaten dry crusts rather than throw them in. It can be a bit of a downer but then I think of the starving children in Africa and I know it’s all worthwhile.

What's wrong with feeding the seagulls crusts? Keeps them healthy and vibrant, primed to torment haters.

It's a good way to give them malnutrition, perhaps that is your aim!
