What do you call the slice of bread on either end of the loaf?

[Niall]

Weird question I know. But I was at school and I found out that there's a bunch of different names for it. I call it the end slice but other people call it the knobby, and others call it the heel of the loaf but t'eva.

[Niamh.]

I call it the Heel

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

the crust

[Benjamin]

The crust. :suspect:

[Kate!]

The crust, and it is the best bit :lovedup:

Can't beat a buttered crust with strawberry jam.

[Niamh.]

You should have done a Poll Niall :amazed:

[Josy]

Hind ender or outsider

[Samuel.]

The other slices still have crust on them though :suspect:

I have no idea what I call it. Probably just the end slice.

[Niamh.]

Hind ender or outsider

get out Josy :bored:

[Niamh.]

Lol, what's on TV? Oh, HindEnders is just starting :laugh:

[Josy]

get out Josy :bored:

Thats what we call it, but the hind ender doesnt look right typed out because of the way we talk we miss out the D so its kinda like hin ener :laugh:

[Niamh.]

Yeah, it does look strange typed but the Scottish accent/strange dialect is amazing in r/l :love:

[Livia]

We've always called it the nobby... without a K.

[Niall]

You should have done a Poll Niall :amazed:

I would have but my free period ended just before I did. :tongue: Thanks to whoever put it in for me!

[Black Dagger]

Crust, who calls it anything ****ing else? I've never even heard of the others.

[Jesus.]

The crust, and it is the best bit :lovedup:

Can't beat a buttered crust with strawberry jam.

Is that a euphemism?

[Samuel.]

The crust is the bit around the slices. Just because the end slice has one half covered in crust, doesn't make it the crust. It's like calling planet Earth 'water', just because there's a lot of it :idc:

Exactly why it's the Heel :idc:

[Jack_]

It's called the crust. How can anyone call it anything else? I've never even heard of any of the other names :joker:

[King Gizzard]

I said about this the other day on here strangely :suspect:

Crust but as Samuel L Jackson said every piece of bread has crust on them :suspect:

[Lee.]

It's the heel! I've never ever heard it called anything else... especially "nobby"

[Josy]

I dont even get how can it be a heel, unless you lot are eating feet? :suspect:

[Lee.]

:laugh:

[HBB1508]

The crust.

[Niamh.]

It's the heel! I've never ever heard it called anything else... especially "nobby"

:worship:

and Josy it's a loaf of bread (loafer - shoe) so heel fits perfectly :idc:

[Benjamin]

Niamh, shut up. You lose. Most of us call it the crust. Get over it. Move on. Go cry to Martha. :idc:

[Niamh.]

Niamh, shut up. You lose. Most of us call it the crust. Get over it. Move on. Go cry to Martha. :idc:

well, most of you are wrong :idc:

By the way, I've just gotten off the phone from Martha -who by the way, works as a bread technician- and she says it's heel :hmph:

[Benjamin]

Martha is a dirty slag who thinks that herpes is a form of vegetable, so her opinion is invalid. :idc:

You're just jealous cos she doesn't want to be your friend :idc:

Yes, I agree. That is what Martha and Niamh are. :idc:

:idc:

[SharkAttack]

Call it the heel. The crust is the outer surface of the entire loaf, unless people have a different name for that too. ;)

[Josy]

The outsider makes the most sense because its the outside bits of the loaf :hmph:

[Lee.]

http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/crust?q=crust :hmph:

[MTVN]

The crust or the end slice, suppose the end slice makes the most sense

[Niamh.]

Lee has just solved the case people, too bad for you all but you are wrong :idc:

[Benjamin]

I apologise to you all. I am wrong, yet again. I wish I could be like you lot. :bawling:

Glad you admit it. :idc:

[Me. I Am Salman]

I just call it bread..??

[CharlieO]

Who doesn't call it the crust :crazy:

[Samuel.]

Call it whatever you want, it's still and always will be the end slice :idc:

[Livia]

I've never heard it called anything other than the nobby, although I've not spent much time pondering it. Is it a London thing, I wonder?

[Niall]

I'm not sure it is.. I live in London and most people seem to say end slice.

But then one of my friends says "nobby" and suggested it was an Irish thing, yet I'm part Irish and no-one in my family who's actually from Ireland has ever said that. :laugh:

[Jessica.]

It's called the crust. How can anyone call it anything else? I've never even heard of any of the other names :joker:

Same.

[lily.]

The outsider

[Firewire]

Yes, I agree. That is what Martha and Niamh are. :idc:

fu

I think it's a Scottish thing but it's the correct way.

[lily.]

Thats what we call it, but the hind ender doesnt look right typed out because of the way we talk we miss out the D so its kinda like hin ener :laugh:

I've never called it that, but I use that phrase to describe the end of something or the back of it..

The 'hin en' of the concert.. the 'hin en' of the train lol

[Omah]

Mine ..... :idc:

[Niamh.]

I'm Irish and I've never heard anyone refer to it as nobby, Heel is the only thing I've ever heard anyone here call it

[Suze]

I have only ever called it a crust. Never known it be called any of the other words.

The crust is how it is defined in the oxford English dictionary. Therefore the Crust is the correct way of saying it.

[Patrick]

Everyone, EVERYONE calls it the heel here. :suspect:

I call it 'the fat part' though.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

omg they call it the heel in the hunger games :amazed:

[Glenn.]

This is the most random thread on TiBB that I've seen in a long time. :joker:

I call it the crust. Never heard of the others :shrug:

Why would you call a crust a heel?

Would make me think of cheesy feet when I'm buttering my bread :eek:

[Locke.]

Does anyone actually even eat it? I'd rather do without

[Shaun]

the crust is my favourite bit :lovedup:

[Ninastar]

we call it the end bit lolol

but sometimes we call it the crust

[Ninastar]

the crust is my favourite bit :lovedup:

this :love:

[MTVN]

It's horrible, always just skip it and have the first normal slice instead

[King Gizzard]

I had to have some couple nights back..twas alright

[swinearefine]

Heel

[Benjamin]

I have to agree the crust is the best bit, especially when you use it for cheese on toast.

[Locke.]

Disgusting

[King Gizzard]

be a bit of a squeeze getting a crust in the toaster

cheeky toaster

[King Gizzard]

hi nathan, what did you get up to yesterday

erm just talked about what you call the end bits of bread nothing much

[MTVN]

Sounds like it was a good night

[King Gizzard]

going to have jam and bread turnovers now

lazy way of making sandwiches

[Locke.]

Might acquire myself a jar of jam tomorrow, it has been a while

[King Gizzard]

Good investment that

[nicole_burks]

I call it the butt

[Princess]

The heel, didn't realise there was any other name for it. The crust is the outside bit of the bread :|

[CharlieO]

I call it the butt

Do you wish for us to assign someone to butter your butt?

[Niamh.]

omg they call it the heel in the hunger games :amazed:

Well there you go, has to be heel then :idc:

[Livia]

I have heard "crust" but I've never, ever heard "end slice". But then I'm talking Bethnal Green/Bow east London where my Dad's family originate from and not Romford, Essex. Unless your family originally comes from the East End?

Anyhoo... I'm shocked to see there's still only one vote for Nobby! And it's such a good word...

[Benjamin]

Butter my butt and call me a biscuit. ;)
