What's this called?

barefoot serpent · 01-05-2006, 09:42 AM

I think this is one of those regional things - is it pop, soda, sodapop, coke...
but what do you call the end slice of a loaf of bread?

It's the heel... but more importantly, no one will eat it--UNLESS you are sneaky and put the kids' peanut butter on the heel side, thus hiding it on the inside of the sandwich while the pristine white side is exposed. They usually don't figure out they're eating 3 times the crust they normally do until they're at least 6 or 7.

...additionally, you have to get to the heel ahead of me, because it's the best part of the loaf for me.

I like the heel, but I can only eat it when it's actually the last pieces. I particularly like it toasted. With peanut butter. And perhaps bacon if I'm particularly lucky and have some already cooked.

BigV · 01-05-2006, 12:32 PM

They make'em at the front of the loaf too, you know.

Trilby · 01-05-2006, 12:41 PM

crust! It's what's for dinner!! I like the crusty parts.

Plus, makes your hair grow. Might make it grow in curly.

Elspode · 01-05-2006, 02:33 PM

Crust is the entire firm outside of the bread, not just the ends, you silly girl.

monster · 01-05-2006, 08:02 PM

It's the crust. A heel is on your foot, silly people. :p

Sun_Sparkz · 01-05-2006, 08:08 PM

We just call it "the ends"

if it was called a heel then i couldnt bring myself to eat it. it would remind me of blisters and corns... ew.

i like it, but prefer the middle bits

Griff · 01-05-2006, 08:19 PM

Don't be silly. That's the heel. My Mom would fight yah for it.

capnhowdy · 01-05-2006, 08:20 PM

end piece.

My mom said it and that's the way it is. Every piece in the loaf has 'crust'.

yes, but those are crusts, the picture above is THE crust. Just like evrybody has business but not everybody is "The Business"

Crust or crusts are the outside edges of a slice. The bits you cut off when you make tea sandwiches.

I like a bread with a firm texture and a good chewy crust. Especially the heels.

I fight my mom for 'em whenever we have Italian bread.

This is all making me miss the old WonderBread factory in Norristown. I used to LOVE getting stuck at that traffic light and being enveloped in the smell of freshly baking Wonderbread. Helps build strong bodies 12 ways, you know!

Only traffic light in the Philadelphia area that was better to get stuck at was the Oreo Cookie Factory up on the Boulevard.

It's the crust! At least that's what we call it in the UK.

I hate it when you think about a word too much and it suddenly seems wierd. Crust... just sounds wrong now...

My wife the lovely calls it the butt, my grand father called it a tailgate. no matter what you call it, its the best part, YUM!!!
