I know I am being unreasonable but……..

😅 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?

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

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!

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.

I always ate my crusts but unfortunately my hair could not be more straight than it is. I wanted curly hair. I paid a fortune in perms over many years.

I used to tell my mother I didn't want curly hair. It turned out wavy, presumably because I only ate half my crusts.

My granddaughter loves crusts and her brother doesn't, so when they have soldiers with their eggs she has the outside pieces. Works very well for pizza too!

I find the same knspol. A branch of a fashionable London bakery has opened nearby recently and I won't be a customer! Even their cakes and pastries are rather "worthy", not enough sugar or fat in them so really not very nice to eat.

Yes strong teeth needed for strong crusts. I do eat them...slowly. A thing that I don't understand is people who never finish a meal but always leave something on the plate. It's not that they are full as they always have room for cake and coffee afterwards.

You can dunk the crusts in your tea. Yummy!

I have curly hair which I hate. It is still curly in spite of avoiding crusts for over 65 years. They lied!
Seriously though, I find crusts dry chewy and hard to swallow. And I was put off as a child by the copious amount of butter my mother insisted I put on and ate- I really don’t like butter.

I avoid crusts - just don’t like them - on any bread. Things like baguettes are a no-no for me.

Not to de-rail the thread, but my Mum (and Gran) used to cut the ends off chips, so I didn’t scratch my throat!! Perhaps they hoped I’d be a singer - believe me, I’m not, tone deaf am I.

I have bucked the trend - I always eat my crusts and have straight hair! I think it’s bad manners to leave the crusts.

I’m the same. I think the crusts are the best bit. Even more surprising considering that my dad used to claim that eating the crusts would give you a hairy chest. Enough to put any little girl off. Thankfully, despite my love of crusts, my chest is as bald as it has always been.

Same here. I have spent a small fortune on dental implants and do not want to risk breaking any more teeth.

Used to love the crust on bread but since the progression to dentures, I struggle even with the centre of bread, let alone the crusts so sadly bread has joined the growing list of things I can't eat anymore.
And I have to confess to not liking sourdough - far too hard for me even pre-dentures.

Best part,like fighting my brother for the top of the hard honey,
I have curly hair too !

Oh dear…you wouldn’t like me then…I don’t like Sourdough bread. …sorry.

My two big front teeth are brittle and thin - the dentist builds them up from the back or they'd be scalloped - and he told me not to eat sourdough crusts! Especially toasted. So I don't.

I love fresh bread crusts, however I can’t eat them anymore due to a combination of diabetes and partial dentures, you just never know what people have to contend with in their lives (I personally wouldn’t discuss my ‘short comings’ with anyone even friends)

Crusts are the bestbit and we share the crusts from the ends of the bread , one each, when I ( my breadmaker) bake it.

I’m another who loves crusts, toasted or otherwise. Lovely dunked in soup as some others have suggested but I really like crunchy foods.

When I was wee, my Dad would have a proper Forfar Bridie for Saturday lunch and he left the crust. I was always around to clean that up!

On a similar note I always eat all of a baked potato, loving the crispy skins.

I can understand though that teeth and gum issues prevent some from eating these crispy, chewy delights. And thank goodness the few I have left are strong enough.

Sure, some crusts can be too tough. BUT -- don't waste them, chop them up, put them out for birds.

You aren’t. I love crusts but they have to be loaded with creamy unsalted butter!

If royalty can have their crusts cut off so can the rest of us!

Woo hoo! First state pension received today. Only 6 years late as Im a Waspi!
Now what to spend it on to mark this momentous occasion!!
