On a related (?) note, I was taken aback by the scene from "Kill Bill 2" ([1]), where Bill makes a sandwich for Bibi and... cuts off the crust. And it was the soft "toast" bread anyway. Doing this was not a thing when I was a kid; actually, eating the crunchy heel of a (Central-European style) loaf was a pleasure.

- cafard 2y agoI grew up in the Wonder Bread days, and definitely remember people cutting off the crusts.
- saalweachter 2y agoThis is an absurdly common request from small children. If you don't do it, you may still find them eating around the crusts, for instance if you cut a sandwich in half, or even gnawing through a single point on the sandwich's crust and then leaving behind a crust-rind when they're done. As a parent, you're then left with no other choice than to eat all of the grilled cheese rinds yourself, so you don't tend to push too hard on the childish habit.
- crazygringo 2y agoAs a kid, I hated the crust. It tasted gross. But that's because it was gross industrial bread to begin with, and the crust was just drier and unpleasant. But I also remember eating sourdough with its chewy crust and loving that. Cutting off crusts is very specific to bread that is bad to begin with, I think.

- barrucadu 2y agoBut the crust is nice, why would you throw it away just because you're rich?
