What do you do with the heels of a loaf of bread?

What do you do with the heels of a loaf of bread? Do you eat them, toss them, feed them to the birds?

I toss them. Don't know why. I just have always done that. How about you.

 

[Raven]

I toss them too. When toasted I find they are hard to chew so in the bin they go.

 

[Pappy]

I feed them, and any stale bread, to the turtles in our canal out back.....and sometimes toss them away.

 

[Aunt Bea]

I eat em!

Sometimes I toast them for breakfast, other times they end up as bread crumbs or get tossed into a meatloaf.

When we were kids we used to fight over who would get the heels on a nice fresh loaf of crusty Italian bread!

 

[SeaBreeze]

I toss them. I used to break them up and toss them over the back fence into the open field for the birds until I realized that the bread was just attracting more mice to our yard/house. I was a picky eater as a kid and my mother actually had to cut the crusts off of my sandwiches before I would eat them. She was very frustrated with me when it came to eating, luckily I grew out of it.

 

[Capt Lightning]

If it's white bread, I eat them. If It's brown bread, I use them for breadcrumbs. I'd never throw them out.

 

[Falcon]

Either toss them or put them out for the birds. Its not like they're made of platinum or gold.

(I know, I know; 1,000s of people in the world would fight over them.)

 

[jujube]

I love a toasted heel with butter and honey.

 

[Temperance]

Eat them! The heels are my favorite parts. Love to toast and if having coffee will dunk. So good.

 

[fuzzybuddy]

I toss 'em. I feel bad about doing that. Ya know starving people all over the globe. Wouldn't put it out for the birds-we got bears.

 

[Manatee]

Deep six them.

 

[Seeker]

I feed them to my chickens..I call it recycling.

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

I cube them,put them in a baggie and freeze them. When I have enough I add seasonings and make stuffing for chicken. The hubby likes it better than potatoes or other starch with his chicken. Better than Stove Top any day, and costs next to nothing.

 

[NancyNGA]

I've always eaten them.

 

[IKE]

I've always eaten them.

Me also......as a matter of fact I had two (whole wheat) toasted for breakfast this morning.

 

[Buckeye]

Best.
Toast.
Ever.

 

[Lynk]

I eat them and sometimes I will put them in freezer bag to save up enough for chicken and dressing.

 

[NancyNGA]

Best.
Toast.
Ever.

Yes! Especially the thick ones.

 

[Stormy]

I crumble mine up and feed them to the birds

 

[maggiemae]

I toss them now. When I was working I would crumble them up and throw them to the birds at work. We have too many squirrels around here(I can hardly keep them out of the bird feeders)!

 

[Ken N Tx]

My wife feeds them to 3 rabbits and birds..The rabbits come up to the patio every morning and wait..The birds chirp until she feeds them..They also like pizza crusts!!!!

 

[rkunsaw]

I eat them usually as toast.

 

[RubyK]

I am enjoying the great answers to my question. Thanks.

 

[angelica]

I never toss them! Always eat them!

 

[tnthomas]

Toast! Peanut butter!
