Does anybody else call the end of the bread

A knobbler? Or heard it ever be called this?
I said it the other day and had my whole team looking blankly at me....
I/my family can’t be the only people in the world who use this term?
Most people just said they called it the crust? I have heard one person call it a ‘knobby’ before, but to be fair it’s never really a word that comes up often in conversation is it?

RomanyRoots · 15/01/2019 19:17

I've heard it but can't remember where or who said it. It could even have been on tv.
I just call it the crust.

Greensleeves · 15/01/2019 19:17

A nubbin is a bit of cheese left over after grating, which you stuff in your gob

CraftyGin · 15/01/2019 19:18

It’s the heel.

NoonAim · 15/01/2019 19:18

The heel here too.

Sausagefingers9 · 15/01/2019 19:19

It’s the arse end in our house

NotMeNoNo · 15/01/2019 19:23

The crust. As in "you beat me to the crust"

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 15/01/2019 19:26

Crust but if it’s a baguette it’s ‘the pointy end ’ (as in ‘which bugger had the pointy end’?)

Hairmumscaremum · 15/01/2019 19:27

Knobby or "who likes knob" when sharing a garlic baguette

gnarlington · 15/01/2019 19:27

Knob end, but only for French stick. All other bread it is the crust

Janecon · 15/01/2019 19:28

The heel.

Flutternotsoshy · 15/01/2019 19:29

It's the topper.
As in, "we need more bread, only got the toppers left"

MotorcycleMayhem · 15/01/2019 19:29

Doorstop here. Scottish raised, so Plain Loaf. I miss that bread in England.

Overseasmom100 · 15/01/2019 19:31

feellikeanalien · 15/01/2019 19:35

When I was little it was the back slice.

PreseaCombatir · 15/01/2019 19:36

So a few variations of ‘knob’ then. Knobbie seems to be very popular, must be a regional thing. Are all the knob-ends Grin London/SE?
