Trying to get the most out of stale bread was a probably big deal until the early 20th century. I mean: toast, french toast, soup (really a dipping sauce for stale bread), bread puddings, crumbled and fried (as in migas), crumbled and mixed into eggs and then fried (as in some spanish tortilla recipes), crumbled into a variety of recipes. And all of these are quite edible, or at least they used to be back when people didn't have Wonder Bread.
