The crusts were always my favourite part of a sliced loaf. I was always eager to be the first to open one and, whenever I could, I'd dig down to the crust at the other end before anyone else got to it.... Oh, happy days.... [lol]

The ends are to be slathered with butter and dunked in tomato soup. 😋

I never tried them, to be honest... O_O

BTW, watched the Frost/Nixon movie night. Quite good, though my...uh, essay-length remarks will have to keep until the dawn of June.

[grin] I always liked them toasted - with plenty of real butter or blackcurrant jam.

They're the best bit of the loaf!

Frost/Nixon does look interesting...

Well, our bread is different. But the crust ist almost like a bread roll, espeically the first one when it is still fresh!

CyberKitten said...

I do love good bread. Can't beat it!

You have to come to Germany. I'll introduce you to loads of loafs. ;)

What would you recommend? There are a few bread shops here (well, a few miles away) that are notorious for people forming LONG Q's where they're open. They might have something for me to try...

VV said...

Yum! Toasted with butter and jam is also a huge comfort experience.

CyberKitten said...

Oh YES!

I wrote a long answer yesterday but then my pc broke down. :(
Anyway, start with a mixed or gray bread (half wheat, half rye) to get used to the consistency. Then move on to rye-sourdough and then to one with grains, my favourite.
