chuck416A Poll: End pieces of the bread loaf
Loaves of bread should be pachaged approximately 1" thick (long)....EVERY slice is a heel.

I don’t have a pop-up toaster - I toast bread in my Breville Smart Grill. Consequently, I can cut up the bread first,
then toast the pieces. Croutons, or “soldiers” for Eggs & Soldiers. Fewer crumbs that way.

flashguyI treat them like any other slice of bread, except that they do get eaten last so that the other slices don't dry out--they protect the rest of the uneaten loaf. My pop-up toaster does just fine with them, too. (I like toasted tuna and toasted Spam sandwiches.)

Johnny 3eaglesThe heels (ends) make excellent toast because they curl up and hold more butter/peanut butter or jelly/jam. Everybody knows that!

corsairNo problems eating them.
I will put them in my brown sugar bin to absorb any moisture. Keeps the sugar from hardening.

sig operatorThey are frozen and used for dressing at Thanksgiving.

V-TailWith morning covfefe, lightly toasted, butter, and strawberry preserves.
Actually, I have been buying "strawberry spread" at Costco, instead of "strawberry perserves."
The difference: All the "preserves" that I see in the stores use HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup). The "spread" uses real cane sugar.

NavyAgShooterI pulverize them and freeze them to use as breading later.

sns3guppyFavorite part.
Other than the peanut butter, of course.

Maybe your post will go viral.

IronworkerThat question brings back memories. My mother was a child of the Depression. She never wasted anything. She used to save the heels in a bag in the freezer. When she had enough, she would make bread pudding. To this day, if I go to a restaurant that has bread pudding for desert, I will order it.
