What do you call the ends of your bread?

[rabbitheadlights]

Following on from another post ... What do you call the end of a loaf? I've always called it the heal .... Everyone I know calls it a crust... Is there any more?

If it’s a normal sliced loaf we just call it the Crust. However, if it’s a French Loaf / Baguette our family call it “ The Bee’s Bum”

Rabbit

You beat me to it.

It is blowing a hoolie outside, I am here Mnetting and having a bit of fun, so if you don't like it NannyRed, channel your inner Dionne Warwick and Walk On By.

Knobby as well.

Heel here too. Not Irish. Everyone thinks we are weird

A loaf is the crust. The heel if it’s a baguette.

Knobby End

The Outsider here. The Outsider of a plain loaf (Mother's Pride) toasted and buttered is heavenly.

Nob end

I've always called it a heel. Dh calls it a crust, because in his exact words to me "what do you call the bit round the edge of a slice"? Me "crust". Him "exactly, the end pieces are the same as that, so it's the crust". Me "........ we won't go there with what I said".

Mine! Lovely toasted - kids don’t get much chance unless they’re quick

The crusts - because that's what they are.

The non end

The end of the bread..

The heel or the fat slice.

Heel (Scots).

My family have always called them the bum pieces. Never occurred to me that this is weird until reading this thread.

nobbler

Outsider, Scottish and never heard of called a heel before.

Knobby.

Heelies

Which is why I was totally bemused at those shoes the kids were wearing, had images of them gliding about on slices of bread!

NE Scotland here - I call it the doup which is what we say for bum!

Knob end

Where do all these names like knobby end etc come from? We call it the crust here (S.E).

Heel (East Scot). Glaswegian DH calls it outsider.

I call it the heel. (I'm irish)
