I almost never throw away old bread, I just dip it in egg-milk mixture and a little bit of salt and pepper, fry it on some oil and have a DELICIOUS meal. (Also known as French toast). It goes well with cheese spread on top or any kind of meat products (Salami, spam, ham, etc.).

Yes some is used for that. Also some is used to feed cattle such as pigs.

They can, but there already industry making better breadcrumb.

Croutons...bread pudding.

@@southaussiegarbo2054 "cattle such as pigs"I think cattle is cows...Maybe the word livestock is what your looking for

Except all the ingredients labor etc that went into making the bread in the first place. It’s good they can use it in someway, but it hardly seems the best use of it

Yes. Unfortunately, however, cows shouldn’t be eating grains... but you are correct, nothing is wasted.

You mean the leftover from the *small amount* the brewery takes from the sandwich factory? The brewer said that the sandwich factory produces a lot more waste than they use for beer.

Saying "nothing is wasted" is disingenuous. While it's better than just tossing it in the trash, much of the time, labour, capital, inputs, storage and handling, transportation and opportunity cost is underutilized. It would be better if the bread maker precut the ends off and used it to make value-added products like breadcrumbs, croutons, breading etc.

@@dmarti47 with in moderation. Too much and they get bloated, however it could go to the hog and chicken farmers

What is your family business?

@@SG-xy6hf Nunya business

Bread ends are the best toast for Shashuka

Username checks out.

Or cured meats

Or feed it to chickens and get eggs or the egg salad.

@@jessewilson8676 but how do they peel the hard boiled eggs?

idk about this factory, but where i work in Canada we don’t sell day-old bread, and the ones that don’t get either eaten by staff or baked for crustini, they goes to pig feed or the landfill about 50/50. at one point the company that was taking our organic waste went bankrupt; organic waste management is not really very profitable at all. we effectively pay more to send food waste to pig feed than it costs us to just send it to the landfill, not to mention that it’s slightly more labour intensive to separate garbage properly, you can imagine that it’s easier to toss dirty plastic lids, and napkins and banana peel and bread in the same bin, but we cannot throw plastic and cardboard in the pig feed. i think realistically i would speculate that majority of bread waste goes to landfill and incinerators, but not necessarily the vast majority.

@@johnnysecular why didnt the pig farms come pick it up?

@@manchagojohnsonmanchago6367 how do you mean? why don’t pig farms come and pick up food waste for free? i’m not sure. i think it’s cheaper to buy feed.

I love a good crust, but it's not suited for a packaged sandwich. These sandwiches can stay in the fridge for a few days. By the time someone picks it up, the crust would go stale.

It's also a wicked metal band name 🤣✌️

@@Deathbyfartz Or an underpant brand.

This sandwich bread isn't the best and a good crust has to have crunch and that doesn't work for a moist ready made sandwich in a plastic packaging.

Yes!

Yes!

Great for beans on toast or Welsh rarebit also

I always use the ends. It is the best part. I consider it to be a flat bread bun.

I toast the bread ends for Italian crustini rub it with garlic, tomatoes, basil

I save up the ends by popping them in the freezer. Once I have enough I make a delicious bread pudding. I can also pull what I need then toast and grind them up for bread crumbs, or use as a nice piece of morning toast. The ends never ever go to waste. I'm shocked that they can't find a sustainable use for all of the "waste", not just a portion of it. I would think even donating it to a local food bank or soup kitchen would be welcome as they could make or bake many meals with what these companies are throwing away.

Especially from a loaf of home made bread with my grandma's strawberry jam slathered on it.

We ink the UK used to call them end crusts, but it seems no more

Bread ends toast is best for Italian crustini rub with fresh garlic, tomatoes and basil

@@garethwilliams5809 I have never met anyone in my entire 32 years alive call it anything other than crust in England.. and I worked in a bakery for almost a decade too

Lowcountry SC here, we call them heels also. When I was younger(young) I would dig to the back of the loaf to get both heels to make the best sandwich with. When I got older and had to pay for the bread I realized that the heels helped keep the bread in the middle fresh and slowly weaned myself from that habit. 🤓🍻🥪🍞 Ohh, and I forgot the best sandwich bread in the world(best bread period really) that I didn't discover until I was full grown and working in a French restaurant. 🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐! 🤓🍻

it holds together well.

I prefer the interior, but I don't waste the ends.

Bread crumbs are made of specially made bread just for that purpose.

@@Schradermusic we definitely need to rethink these things. So much waste for reasons that aren’t good enough

@@mokkaveli Crusts do not really make good breadcrumbs for food coatings among other choices available, as the texture and flavour profile is not ideal. The food industry is highly competitive, and consumers are picky. If the product is not either one of good, convenient, or cheap; then people will not buy it. Environmentally sound is not a core selling point for the general consumer.

Unfortunately they still bin quite a lot of it.

what do they do with ootsiders in Scotland?

@@manchagojohnsonmanchago6367 They don't let them in

I went to university with some guys who adopted that diet.

You monster

You effectively just ended ur sentence with ‘period, period, period.’

You monster.

if they sold just the heel i would buy it. it could be called, just the heel bread company. mmmm, sandwiches in central londons convenient storess that are close to expiring are 1 quid, soooooo good to eat and walk around the city.

Underrated comment 😂😂

Ducks really shouldnt eat bread

That way they could use their tuppence to feed the birds. :)

And it’s used for alcohol. They make it even less nutritious.

Probably has to do with the fit in the oven

Since the invention of Panko there's less demand for bread crumbs. Panko is popular specifically because it doesn't have crust so it's fluffier. If there's not enough demand they won't go out of their way to make it. I can imagine that soup kitchens could use them too, either for sandwiches or for croutons for soup and salad, but with most food waste there isn't much incentive to do things like that. Companies need a financial incentive to do that.

You’ve clearly never worked a production line

dog food normally, dog biscuts ect or pig food, i dont think theyer thrown away in the uk..
