I am from germany, and I don’t really agree with this assessment of the crust being the tastiest part. People definitely told me that many times, but I think it does just seem straightforwardly wrong by my own taste. I do still usually eat the crust though.
Interesting. I’m now wondering if dislike of crust is more widespread than I assumed. This strikes me as plausible because there is a lot of moral sentiment attached to not wasting food. This consumer survey from Switzerland found that consumers see the crust as more indicative of bread freshness than the crumb [low quality online survey]. So maybe people are also mixing up the crust as an indicator for quality with the actual taste of the crust?

It depends on the kind of bread. I usually don’t eat the ends of sandwich bread loaves, but the crusts of artisan bread are the best part.
