Eat real bread, not this sugary garbage

[-] MelastSB@sh.itjust.works 45 points 1 month ago

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

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month 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 4 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 20 points 1 month 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 17 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Godnroc@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Strykker@programming.dev 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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 6 points 1 month 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

[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

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 1 month ago

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

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 month ago

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 1 month 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

[-] NaoPb@eviltoast.org 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I've been thinking about this. But stores throw out whole breads when they become too old. And they throw out plenty since people want stores to be stocked all day so there still is bread available at the end of the day. So in a year stores throw out more than you'd throw out if you cut the crusts off.

Since then I don't really care anymore. Somtimes I eat the crusts, other times I cut them off and throw them out. And yes, I know they can still be used for all sorts of things, but none of those are usefull to me.

[-] Miaou@jlai.lu 10 points 1 month ago

What's offensive is that some call that stuff bread

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

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

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 16 points 1 month 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 1 month 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.

[-] RoyaltyInTraining@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

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?

[-] Cipher22@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

So every 8 yo ever offends you?
