Hey All,
Well we'd already decided to make our own breadcrumbs for our FAILSAFE diet anyway, but in cleaning out our freezer of non-FAILSAFE foods, we read the label on the back of a packet of Homebrand "Breadcrumbs". Rather than transcribe the extensive list of ingredients here, go checkout the photo on Damaris's blog http://candidcountrylife.blogspot.com/2010/04/our-new-bimby-has-arrived.html (http://candidcountrylife.blogspot.com/2010/04/our-new-bimby-has-arrived.html).
Suffice to say, when I saw "Tuna Oil" and "Fish Gelatine" I decided I'm never having store bought breadcrumbs again (not a seafood fan). It looks like they just scrape all the leftovers off the bakers floor and stick it all in a bag!

WoW russell :o that is a big long list of ingredients for the humble breadcrumb!
Another reason to make your own 8)

glad we have GF :o

Russell, another benefit of TMX. I have several bags of breadcrumbs in the freezer, and use them for all sort of things. All from home made bread. Some I make into crumbs and while the machine is running , tip a bit of oil in. These are good for sprinkling on top of savory dishes. White crumbs I keep separate for sweet dishes such as Queen of Puddings. and Xmas pud. Very little goes to waste with the TMX.

Great ideas Chooky. I make my own but had never thought to add the oil so must give this a try.
-
Eauk! I make my own breadcrumbs and have never honestly thought what could be in store bought ones.
-
That's unbelievable - I would have assumed that Breadcrumbs would be, well, breadcrumbs!
Great blog too. There is a list somewhere on here, so make sure you advertise yourself.
-
thanks for that Russell.
Glad i make our own.

Speaking with my DD last night I mentioned this thread. She went to her pantry and came back with a packet of breadcrumbs, reading off all those ingredients listed. Talk about an eye opener :o :o I'm sure her mothers' group will hear this story at their next get together.

See now these are things I missed out on....having always made our breadcrumbs from our stale homemade bread! ;)

Mine doesn't but the only people who eat the crusts are DH and I ... toasted and with butter - not good for the waist line :-)) :-)) so into the freezer they go (out of temptations way) ready for breadcrumbs ;D ;D ;D
Thank goodness I stopped buying the packaged garbage when we got our TMX is all I can say. I am horrified :o :o

See, my Dad alwasy said "Eat your crusts, it'll make your hair go curly". Well I loved bread crusts, and now I'm bald. I wonder if that's significant?

I make lots of breadcrumbs as DH doesn't like home made bread, so it's only me and occasionally my DS when he's home who eats it. I generally slice my bread up and freeze a few slices. All my less than perfect loaves have been made into breadcrumbs.
Sometimes I dry the bread out in the oven first for toasted breadcrumbs, these grind up nice and fine and are great for coating fish or salmon patties. For fresh breadcrumbs, I often add herbs, parmesan and melted butter and use to top casseroles.
I've always made my own breadcrumbs in the food processor before I had thermie, so have never looked at the ingredients on the packaged ones. Will do so today when I go to town.
Thanks for the heads up Russell!
