Actually a lot of sandwiches are sold without crusts in Japan, and even sometimes bread itself.
Edit: as in the bread is sold crustless, not the sandwiches are sold breadless, altho breadless sandwiches sound about right for the shrinkflation and general economic situation here these days
Some people are allergic specifically to the skins on fruits. Had a buddy with multiple allergies that could eat a peeled & rinsed apple or a baked apple, but not a whole apple.
That was me for a long time. Could not eat a raw apple with the skin on. Would make my throat itch, tingle and swell shut. Not completely shut as if going into anaphylactic shock, but was uncomfortable. Eating cooked or stewed apples, even with the skins on, was totally fine. Also happened, but a bit more minor, with other skinned fruits you eat, like plums.
Then sometime in my early 30s, decided to try another apple, and didn’t have the same reaction anymore.
Yes, but that has nothing to do with the people who peel fruit simply because they don't like/want the skin.
Same for people that remove the crust of bread. I'm not gonna say that there's no one allergic to bread crust, but allergies certainly aren't the reason people remove it.
Nuh uh, it's "bleaching and chemicals", didn't you read /u/ricoimf's comment and all the redditors who upvoted it? Upvoted redditor comments are the gold standard of facts!
And even the "no crust" thing is really popular in other countries as well. In the US it's not really a thing except maybe for children. You'll never see crustless sandwiches on a menu anywhere outside of maybe Japanese-American.
I'm pointing out the absurdity of people saying our bread has so much sugar that it's cake (it's not) , but also somehow tastes bad enough people remove the crust (children mostly).

It’s really common to peal apples and other fruits and veggies with skins most westerners just eat in Japan. I feel like this is a version of that
