Just finished making smoked salmon pinwheels... well, they're still in
their roll un stage now. Haven't cut them yet. Anyway, I now have
roughly a quart of dark rye crusts that I don't know what to do with.
If I was in snow country, I'd toss them out for the birds and other
wild life. As it is now.... I don't want to encourage any wild life
like mice and raccoons.

So, is there anything I can do with them? Dark rye is too dark to
make bread crumbs or croutons, which is my usual answer.... what can I
do, if anything?

TIA

I think they'd be perfectly fine as croutons, sort of like pumpernickel
ones. Just be careful not to burn them.

Make some garlic croutons and mix them with pretzels, peanuts etc. for a
snack mix.

Dark Rye or pumpernickle makes great baked unseasoned croutons to serve
under some chipped beef or chicken ala king and the like. My mother
often used half dark breads and half Italian white for these dishes and
we all loved them.

No it isn't. Dark rye makes for excellent crutons.

That's interesting, thanks! I bought some Stouffer's creamed chipped
beef last week because I've been Jonesing for some. Haven't had it in
years. If I remember correctly, it's on the salty side. Would adding
some light cream to the mixture would help cut down on the salty
flavor?

So many people have said croutons, I'll give it a try.
