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?

Tolleshunt · 16/01/2019 01:18

Yep, 'topper' here also.

Knobby

Vitalogy · 16/01/2019 06:02

No interesting words here just crust. There's so many words for the round bread things, but that's another thread Smile

Noggie. Midlands, although I’m told Northampton’s dialect is a bit mental compared to the rest of the midlands so it might be that, or just a my grandparents thing.

Sarcelle · 16/01/2019 06:10

South East here - my family call it the topper

Rainycloudyday · 16/01/2019 06:15

It's the knobby end in our house!

Heel here, we're Scottish.

Dreamstosell · 16/01/2019 06:17

The back

5SleepingLions · 16/01/2019 06:33

Crust if it's bread and the end if it's a baguette

EmpressJewel · 16/01/2019 06:45

When I was young, I called it the noddy. I'm guessing I probably meant knobby.

maddiemookins16mum · 16/01/2019 06:47

We’ve always called it ‘the ender’.

Arkos · 16/01/2019 08:00

@Sarcelle @Tolleshunt so pleased that other people refer to the "topper" too! Grin

It really doesn't take much to please me, eh! Blush
