I know its been done before but what do you call the end bits of a loaf of bread?

[jmh740]

I call it one thing DH (who was brought up 400miles away) calls it another and DD19 calls it something totally different(wrong!).
Please help me prove noone else calls it what she does!

The crust

I sometimes call it the dog end. But I know it's meant to be called the heel. I usually just say the end bit.

Crust.
I mean I know that the entire loaf of bread is encased in a crust anyway, but I still call the ends 'crusts'.

Makes sense really. Heel being the crusty part of a lot of people's feet! 🤢

Outsiders. Glasgow.

Heel

This is the only correct answer

The crusts. Never heard “heels” in my life!

Heel or crust.

The end bit!

I don't have a word for it, it's just "the end piece"

The crust.

You really should have done voting buttons, OP.

The Outsider(Glasgow)

The heel.obviously. Scottish.

Knobbler

If its a loaf of bread, I call it the end bit.

If its a baguette, it's the nob. Or the nobby bit. I eat these with salty butter before I make lunch, heaven.

Crust but feel I have heard heel enough for it to also make sense

The crust

I say the crust, my husband says the heel

Crust

Crusts

Heel

Do none of the other Scots call them ‘heelies’ rather than heel?

Bum end or crust in politer society 🤣

Sliced bread - crusts either end.
Non-sliced loafs - heels. Or pointy bit/end bit.
