Eat Yer Crusts Options

[Lizziesgal]

ma mammie always telt me tae eat ma crusts an I wid get curly hair......it is a wee bit wavy so mebbie there was some truth in it?

[gardenqueen]

I was told that too and ate mine up. The result is that I have masses of curls, quite out of control! Serves me right for being greedy and vain.

Mind you, you can't beat those crusts we had on our plain bread in Glasgow - I always enjoy them when I go back. My mum lives near a bread making factory and there is a constant smell of baking bread. It is worth going back for that alone.

Hi, Gardenqueen, you've just made my mouth water, I too used to love the taste of those crusts (especially the "ootsiders", which I loved to dip in cream of tomato soup). The other thing I love when I go back up is the fresh morning rolls and the potato scones - delicious. L

[gardenqueen]

Yes, Lizziesgal, those rolls were lovely. I used to have a banana roll every day for my lunch. Lots of butter (!!!!) too.

Sorry to disagree, but I hated these black crusts, maybe that's why my hair is so straight..... I do like the rolls though and the potato scones, mmm...good.

My mother told me if I didn't eat my crusts Id get hairs on ma chist >>>>>>>>>

Love and still eat black crusts and well-fire rolls (when I can get them) but my hairs still game of poker straight and always wanted curly hair. \ Mary

Ah wis told tae eat ma crusts as well. especially the black wans as it wid gie ye curly hair. - although ma Ma never ate them herself. Ah didnae need encouraging, ah loved them an ah've eaten them aw ma life. Wid that explain the big bald patch oan ma heid?

Ah'd kill fer a plain loaf - huvnae had ony in ower 3 years lol Cannae get them this side ai the country - but can over in the North West

[bilbo.s]

Isn´t it strange the way they named loaves in Glasgow? A plain loaf was also known as a square loaf. A French loaf was nothing like any I have seen in France. A Pan loaf - well "Pan" just means " bread". A Vienna loaf was more like French bread. People still used to talk about a " half loaf".

Mind you, Danish pastries in Denmark are called Vienna pastries, if I mind right. Here in Spain a doughnut is sometimes calles a Berliner. At least we do not call hamburgers " beefburgers".

It just goes to show how confused people can get, even with simple things.

Aye, ye wonder at some o the names fur foods. Contrary tae first impressions, Cock-a-leekie soup his nothin tae dae wi incontinent chefs.

Wee davy surely when you get visitosr down there, they bring a plain lof or 2 with them. When I visit my friend in London, never go down with less than 2 and a block of square sausages, When she,s up here , she takes back orders of plain loaves, square sausages and steak pies from the local village butcher.

Where I live they must have ate tonnes of crusts cause their hair is sure curly.
