I make all my own bread, it’s something I love doing, I find it cathartic, I also love the challenge with sourdough as unlike the ordinary brown loaves with sourdough you never quite know how it’s going to turn out!

However, it really annoys me when people leave their crusts, particularly adults!

Surely they cannot be that unpalatable?

How do you go through life not eating crusts?

I know IABU.

DH makes our bread but I always eat the crusts and they're the best bit.

I wish I could eat the crust off the bread. My dentures will not let me do it though so I cut off the crust, pop it into a plastic bag and have it later when I smother the crust in butter and dip it into hot soup. Delicious.

I don’t eat sourdough bread because I have sore gums from medication I have to take. My husband has dementia and is sure that crusts make his teeth fall out! It does annoy me when I go into a cafe and ask for toast and can only get sourdough bread. I do eat the crusts from the granary bread from our lovely local bakery. I use the crusts from my husband’s bread to make croutons by freezing them and make a job lot to put in his soup. Is that called ‘recycling’! 🤪

It could be that some people have problems with their (false) teeth. I speak as one who knows, although I always try to eat my crusts!
