bread?

[rachaelersk]

What do you call the crust of the bread at the top and bottom of a loaf? I call them the topper and the bottomer... original. My brother in law calls it the heal??? of the bread. My dad calls it the nobby end? What do you call yours?

The heel

Rachael i just love it when i find a new word for something as basic as bread!!  I suppose when i think of it i call them the outsiders

[trionam]

I'm Irish and I have always called it the heel.

[enigma]

I always called them outsiders but my husband calls them fatties.

[lsie]

[rachaelersk]

ha ha have got you all thinking now. I love reading the replies and new names, have been having a good giggle.

[loopey]

yep the nobby ends is what we call it,

[Narolines]

We just call 'em crusts, but I have heard the term "nob (or knob?) end", and I have a friend who calls it the "Jimmy".

[karengauld]
