I know I am being unreasonable but……..

Always leave the crusts on sourdough bread as they hurt my gums and occasionally makes them bleed. Would not do this in someone else's home I would eat and suffer but at home or in a restaurant I would leave them.

2 months ago I had a fall - knocked 3 teeth about, sliced through lip. I would love to be eating your crusts... save them for me when the NHS can sort me out!

GSM thank you I thought I was going daft. Well dafter than usual 🤣

😅 Tiley, and those of us whose mothers made us eat them got the annoyingly curly hair!

Or even slightly kinky (not in a weird way!) hair, because we only ate some of them?

The thread started today has been deleted - GN thought it was a troll.

The thread I was commenting has disappeared. Sorry about this folks. But if anyone did read it knows what I mean.
I don't drink so no excuse for having a tipple 😁

Don't know where my mind is I did post on the correct thread . Got thrown about eating crusts. 🤦🤣

Partner and his past part 2 it seems. 🤔

DOH posted on wrong thread sorry 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦

Partner and his trust part 2 it seems .

I make wheaten soda bread a couple of times a week. I cover it with a tea towel when cooling and it prevents the crust becoming too hard. Nicely crusty but not sharp.

Delicious with strawberry jam.

I would be very careful eating the crusts as sourdough can be very hard and has cut the roof of my mouth. I would choose other breads to eat and leave the sourdough as much as I like it.

Same with toast, I eat it very carefully with a sip of tea to help. The skin on the roof of our mouths gets thinner as we age just like the skin on other parts of our body.

My DH never eats up properly and always leaves crusts and the white of an egg. I blame his mother!

We have been married for nearly 51 years and I am sure, in fact I know, that I do things that annoy him so we have come to an agreement where we just grin a bear it.

I don't really get this. If you made a cherry cake and your guest doesn't like cherries- would you expect your guest to eat them?

When someone cooks food you don't really like wouldn't you tell them?

If you go to a restaurant and the dish contains something you can't eat wouldn't you say, 'can I have it without...?'

Can't you just make the crust a little softer?

I am not a fan of sourdough as it gives me terrible indigestion so if I came to yours and you didn't offer me a choice I'd bring my own or eat later.

I always leave the crusts - just can't bear eating them TBH. But I never waste them - they always go out for the birds.

I dont care for sourdough bread, but make a great wholemeal loaf and put poppyseeds and various other seeds on , so the crust is something that I enjoy the most. So if I had anyone daft enough not to enjoy it , I would happily cut the crust off and eat it myself!! - My best bread is made when I am furious about something - at the moment of course politicians etc., but anything that is frustrating , more bashing of the dough, with an internal thought of who I would like to imagine I was thumping. Safe for everyone and calming for me and end up with great bread!!

😂
You go girl! Send some of that wholemeal bread my way.

I must admit I find the crusts on sourdough bread tough. I always eat othe crusts though.

Having tried some horribly expensive sourdough bread to see what all the fashionable fuss is about, I left both the crust and the rest of it.Not for me, give me Hovis wholemeal sliced, any day.

I love crusts, with lots of good butter. I've actually never heard about the curly hair, honestly. But now I'm wanting a nice crusty sandwich

That additive didn’t work for me or my siblings.
We always had to eat crusts. Strangely, the ends of the loaf were really popular in our house, but we still didn’t get curly hair.

l-cysteine, that is the additive, google it. I won't put it on here and I will still eat bread.

In our family of three girls, I was born with wavy mousey hair which is now white and curly; my next sister was born with a mop of brown curls which I used to envy. Our youngest sister had, and still has, completely straight hair. I can't remember whether or not we all ate our crusts. I suspect that when we got a dog, quite a lot of crusts were 'carelessly' dropped on the floor.

There was an additive in the crusts of bread to make them appealing. This chemical accumulated in hair follicles and caused hair to become curly.
One of the things I learned at university!

I can't find anything about that, Nannytopsy Can you give any more details about what additive it was? I'd have thought someone would be making a fortune out of that, it would be so much better than getting chemicals pured over your head for a perm.

Am I too late at 85 to start HRT (GP wouldn't prescribe it when I needed it 30 years ago) AND to suddenly get lovely waves?
