Thank you.

Can you possibly give the difference between bits, crumbs, and flakes? and what other terms might be used beside these and pieces?

Please check each word in a good Learners' Dictionary,

Then ask us again if you still need help.

No. 'crumbs' is used with baked goods.

bread crumbs, cookie crumbs, cake crumbs, cracker crumbs, doughnut crumbs

Flakes are quite different. If you've seen cornflakes, you have a good idea of the shape of a flake — small, flat, and with an irregular perimeter, often looking like it has broken off from something
