The phrase "whose crumbs the crows inspect" means it's something people will pick through very carefully to see what they can find. The phrase comes from an Emily Dickinson poem called Fame is a Fickle Food.

This phrase is often used metaphorically to describe a situation or place that is desolate or abandoned, as crows are scavengers that typically feed on remnants or leftovers. It implies a sense of neglect or emptiness.

Do you use a comma before the word whose?

No, you do not usually use a comma before the word "whose." However, if the phrase following "whose" is non-restrictive (provides additional information that could be omitted without changing the meaning of the sentence), then a comma may be used.
