9 Nasty Truths About Your Favorite Foods
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I think most normal people call it the "heel" of the bread - it's the end of the bread that is basically all crust on one side. And good grief, every loaf of bread has two. When I was little, I hated the heel of the bread so much that I called it "the butt" of the bread. I would never eat it.
The strange thing is, I have grown to love this part of the bread more than the soft fluffy interior. The heel is, as I said, almost all crust, and the crust of the bread is the part that gets crisp or chewy when toasted. But why is it that I find myself in the minority on this? Why do my friends and family ignore the heel, maneuvering their hand in that tiny gap between bread and plastic bag to the next "slice?" Why, at the end of three, four days, are there two heels left in the bag, face to face, and basically left to stay there until they grow fuzzy with mold? I don't know. I just don't understand it.
Do you eat the heel of the bread? Do you use it for something else, like try to hide it by turning it inside out on a sandwich? Bread crumbs? Bread pudding of just heels? Do you, like my friends and family, leave it in the bag until someone has the guts to throw it away?
