Any port in a storm. When you’re hungry and there’s but two heels in the bag suddenly they become an option.

Same as how your idea of how much toothpaste is enough is vastly reduced when you’re having a nosebleed trying to squeeze the last bit out of the tube.

It’s really nice toasted. The heel of the batch bread is the best part.

Waste not, want not.

Toasted its the best part of a loaf!

The older I get the more of a heel eater I’m becoming, and I’ve noticed that I’m even using the scraped back bits of butter, in fact I think I’m turnin into me Da.

I love the heel, especially when it’s really thick and fresh out of the bag with just some butter. Also, toasted with banana for a sweet treat, or cheese and black pepper for savoury.

I love me crusts!

I’m with LJ on this one. Batch heel covered in real butter. Don’t eat much bread but when we do it’s batch. Awwww have to get some on the way home. Fathers chickens get the sliced pan heels

Only in emergencies, and once to clean the kitchen counter

It was to be left for da. Or a different type of heel you might get

I cut two heels into rounds the other day when I ran out of burger buns

Of it’s from a sliced pan I’d never eat it but from a proper loaf of bread the hard, thick crust is the best bit!

the heel is a perfect shock absorber for buttering crackers,they never break!
also the heel can kill you in 5 seconds once injested and only those that have eaten it and survived can eat it! fact!

The heel is nice toasted with plenty of jam.

The heel is the best bit..especially toasted, with lashings of butter, cos it’s all yummy and chewy….nom nom nom!

Treat it as another slice and have a Healing experience.

I never use the heel for a sambo, but it makes nice toast with egg or to dip into soup.

Mongo like heel….

Toasted to make a triple-decker out of a normal sandwich. Yum!

Two heels are better than one… yum yum

People won’t the heel ? and half the planet suffer from starvation! get a life and eat the bread!

Generally I feed it to the chickens

… A good chewy heel … with peanut butter.. and butter of course…

Can’t afford not to

It’s a “spungle” in our house : )

No, Mrs Norris gets there first usually!

Best bit. Especially toasted or as a crisp sandwich. Never batch heel though.

I don’t like the way ye are all calling it the heel. It will always be the crust to me.

I like using the heal for French Toast, but sometimes I throw it away.

Toasted with loads of butter and marmite! NomNom!

the same happens with newspapers,a lot of people pick the next one down.it must be a surface thing,protection from environment.just a thought

Yes. But only from batch bread. And it has to be toasted.

You know things are bad when someone in my house is eating the heel!

mongo eat telegram….mmmmm.

If its all that’s left…

You don’t eat the ‘Heel’ straight off. You use it to keep the next slice fresh. Then when you end up with the 2 ‘heels’ get creative with other fridge left-overs and give your jaws a workout..

Yes always eat the heels, make toast with them the thicker the better mmmmmmmmm.

I don’t eat sliced pan at all

I don’t trust people who don’t eat the crust,, it may not be the nicest part of bread but if a person won’t go through that tiny bit of displeasure for themselves!
They won’t be around when things are hard or you need a hand.

Either my wife eats it or it goes to the birds.

I’ve never actually bothered to see.

The heel is for the birds or to thicken up a good old bowl of hot milk and bread mixed, topped off with a sprinkle of sugar

quality journalism

Its called the crust not the heel

The heel of a slice pan is a no go, cuisine de France bread..heel on it is lovely!
