Does anyone actually eat the heels?
5 comments

Yep, I do. If not ergonomically perfect for sandwiches, they are great for toasting for soup or oatmeal or ramen noodles. They also make an excellent meal when broiled with some chives and melty cheese on top. Heels are under-rated.

My wife disdains bread heels too. She grew up upper middle-class, while I grew up in a working poor family.

My theory is that one's estimation of heels is in inverse proportion to how well-to-do your family was growing up.

Yes. And due to the rest of my family, sometimes one sandwich made from two heels.
Heels are the best! At least speaking of European bread.
They are fine for croutons or breadcrumbs. I don't like them in any other application (like a sandwich).
I do, I just turn them inside out and make grilled cheese and pastrami with them.
