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!

If it's been done before, why are you asking again?

From Greater Manchester-it’s the crust

WoooMumma · 24/02/2026 21:35

Always called it the crust. Until through a post like this I discovered bum end!

MassiveOvaryaction · 24/02/2026 21:35

Crust for me. Dh and dc say end.
I'm the only one who actually eats it in our house (though for toast only, never in a sandwich).

I thought the crust was around the edges of each slice?

Yes, and at the end as well. It is the outer layer of the loaf.

LetMeJustCheckMyCitrusPocket · 24/02/2026 21:49

It's the outsider 🙂. But am loving the idea of the next one in being called the buffer, that's exactly what I do too.

Never heard the heel in my life.
Crusts in Lancashire.

GCAcademic · 24/02/2026 21:56

I only know it’s called the heel thanks to Julia’s MIL in Motherland.
