A couple days ago, I was making toast and we were at the end of the loaf of bread. My husband offered to take the heel claiming that the heel is where all the vitamins and "good stuff" is. After thinking about what he said, I thought, "this doesn't make sense... a loaf of bread is baked from a single piece of dough. How could the heel have more vitamins?" After saying this to him, he said, "I guess you're right. It doesn't make sense. That's just what my mom use to always tell me."
It's funny how even as an adult, you can carry things that your parents told you on through to your adulthood. I'm sure my mother-in-law told him this, simply so the heel would be eaten and wouldn't go to waste! And, after all these years, my husband still remembers what his mom taught him.
