Feed Me: Croutons

 


Did I actually want a salad, or just the croutons?

LOL

They were first introduced in Medieval kitchens as a means to use up stale bread, going into soups and stews.  But the word comes from the French word for "crust," as chefs started serving dishes with fried or toasted pieces of bread.

They were then served with the first Caesar salad, created in 1924 by an Italian immigrant living in Tijuana.

Here's a recipe to make your own!
