Can Anyone Make Use of Stale Bread?
We have a couple of loaves of bread (one that hasn't been opened!) that are past their use by date. Some slices have some mould. Not good for eating buy maybe they can be used for cooking or feeding the ducks/birds?

Summer pudding for the win! It works even better with stale bread and tastes delicious - maybe remove the actually mouldy bits first, mind.
Wrong season admittedly, but I gather Sainsbury's sells mixed berries in the frozen section. I can't vouch for whether or not they're labelled misleadingly...

You can't beat bread and butter pudding and you can really make it luxurious with chocolate and nuts and serve with choc custard.
Because you could be in serious trouble with the neighbours for wasting food during the war, all bread was used up even the stale. There's some good sites for 'wartime' cooking if you google. Here's one for example with a couple of ideas for stale bread. I heard 1940s cooking supremo Marguerite Patten on the radio suggest that you can make breadcrumbs as well and freeze them but personally I'd make dessert

Bread is not recommended for ducks, it's not a normal food for them and eg Springfield Park ducks have a notice asking people not to feed bread to them or the geese. Pigeons survive anything?
Bread + butter pudding is good, I used to make loads of it when looking after my friends' B+B where I had to buy fresh bread every day. Costs an egg + some fruit but would actually disappear first. Be careful removing mould very thoroughly as I've read somewhere that bread mould is toxic and even the bits you can't see are dodgy.

I have a friend who's a food scientist and she told me that if there is mould on the outside you can see, there is also mould on the inside you can't see. Same with cheese (except those designed to be 'mouldy') I would chuck it if it's got any green/white/furry bits - put in the compost bin.
