\"\"<\/a>Five hundred years ago, the mark of a skilful baker was the ability to make a pie or loaf of bread with a hard, shell-like crust; refrigeration and plastic bags had not been invented yet, so a thick, tough crust prevented bugs from burrowing in, and kept the inside from drying out.

The word crust appeared in English in the early fourteenth century and was followed a few decades later by crustade, the name of a pie made of meat, eggs, and milk, all enclosed with a crust.

For the next 150 years a custard continued to be a meat-pie; it was not until the beginning of the seventeenth century that its recipe changed and custard came to mean a dessert made by baking a mixture of eggs, milk, and sugar, often served in a pastry shell. In the Middle Ages the French also had a dish similar to the original meat-filled crustade; they called it a croustade, deriving the name from their word for crust, crouste. English borrowed this French croustade in the mid nineteenth century as the name for a dish made by scooping out the middle of a loaf of bread and then filling it with a ragout. Earlier in the nineteenth century, another French word that derived from the original Latin crusta was borrowed by English: crouton, a crust of bread used to garnish soups or salads.<\/p>\n

The most prevalent definition of this term is the crispy or outer layer of a loaf, pie, or any other baked fare. However, when referring to wine, “crust” denotes the buildup of organic salts that wines discharge as they mature.<\/p>\n
