Eat real bread, not this sugary garbage

I mean, unless you throw away half the spaghetti, one of these practices is more wasteful than the other

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Oooo it's the crust. Lmao I thought they were just oddly cutting the bread into strips and was confused.

Stop buying shitty toast bread and you won't want to cut the crust off.

Also known as Raw Toast

[–] iusearchbtw@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

In Bongland these loaves are referred to as toast bread, probably because toasting is all they're good for.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 21 points 2 years ago

Why are you getting upset at someone making French toast sticks?

I'll get more mad about overcooked pasta than I will if someone breaks spaghetti.

[–] xeekei@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I break the pasta so it'll fucking fit in the fucking bowl; leave me alone!

[–] Godnroc@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Have you tried just tossing it in whole? It gets soft, then you can fit it in.

[–] Strykker@programming.dev 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

And before anyone complains that that takes too long, it' takes like 30 seconds. If waiting that long is gonna ruin your pasta night it's already fucked.

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I like it broken in half. It's more manageable to eat without flinging sauce all over the place.

And because I don't want to deal with 12" long noodles while eating.

Who gets upset about cutting the crust off? It's just the part of the bread that was most directly exposed to the heat

[–] XEAL@lemm.ee 38 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

you can use the cut off crust to make croutons for a salad. at least that's what i do if i feel like cutting it off

[–] XEAL@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Well, it's not going into the trash...

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 27 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Well, lots of us were parented to not throw food away. Just the thought of someone always cutting off the crust when they're eating bread, that does irk me in that sense, too.

But as someone else in this thread already said, with proper bread, the crust is actually good. Then it just seems really strange to cut off the interesting part of the bread and to just want the samey stuff in the middle.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

Just because you cut off the crust doesn't mean you throw it away.

You can use it in all sorts of dishes, or even just dip em in egg yolk

The crust is barely perceptible on toast anyways, so it's just wasteful. I get it if people don't like the crust on things like rye bread, but then why do they even buy it?

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is it? Being the cookediest part doesn't seem like something that'd inherently draw the nutrients into it

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Theres a lot of studies that say yes and that say no. The crust contains more nutrients, but also more potentially not great compounds. So its not like its 100% true or false, I just dont want my kid refusing to eat 20% of the bread I buy, so Im going with true.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 17 points 2 years ago

Bread doughs are homogeneous unless they have inclusions.

The crust is the exact same stuff, but extra maillard browning reactions. Certainly more tasty compounds, but I have a hard time believing they’re more nutritious.

[–] Willy@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago

The skin of fruits and veggies sometimes have more and usually different nutrients in them than the meats of the plants. This is the skin of the bread which also is mostly made of plants. Checkmate.

So every 8 yo ever offends you?
