10. For the most part,
but a good portion of the time the bottom heel is barly a 1/3 a slice of bread, and I usually end up tossing it.

21. Sometimes.
Edited on Wed Mar-24-10 07:56 PM by hippywife
Mostly I save them to use in the bottom of my cookie keeper under a paper towel and then put my fresh baked cookies on top of that. It keeps the cookies from getting hard. :hi:

27. no
:blush:

But after reading all the glowing testimonials in favor of heel eating, I'm feeling kind of ashamed of myself.

Next time, I swear, I'll eat the heel!

31. Good emergency burger or dog buns.
If no emergency use pops up in a few days, they get ripped into little bits and tossed in the driveway. Let the squirrels and birds fight.

35. On a good loaf of real Italian or French bread, It is where I head first.
I don't care one way or the other about regular bread. I'll use the heel but only because I don't like to waste.
