Do you like the end of the loaf?

[SideWinder]

I always thought it was children who didn't like the first and last slice of a loaf but I found out today my brother, aged 30, hates it still.

I personally think its the best bit.

What do you wise lot reckon?

 

[Rannoch]

Best bit for me, I only get it when visiting my parents.

 

[Dyson]

Absolutely the best bit of a fresh loaf!

 

[tom_e]

As long as it's not the really thin rubbish slice, you can't beat a nice thick slice from the end

 

[Zefan]

You're all monsters.

I'll eat it but not if other slices are available.

 

[SexyGreyFox]

Best bit with butter on

 

[Raikiri]

Depends on the type of bread.

Crusty sourdough then yes, Hovis or similar then no.

 

[chroniclard]

Fresh bread yes, supermarket sliced loaf only for toast.

 

[m@rty]

The end bits are the best with soup!

 

[cheesyboy]

Fresh bread yes, supermarket sliced loaf only for toast.

Yeah, this.

On a fresh loaf, it's probably the best bit, but pre-sliced it's a last resort.

 

[Syore]

Yup, with melted cheese and crispy bacon bits.

 

[Voltar]

Best bit unless it is for toast and jam/marmalade in which case I don’t think it’s the best but still enjoy.

 

[Scuzi]

Only if it is referred to as the heel of the loaf.

 

[One More Solo]

Best bit, we have an informal arrangement to share them in our house.

 

[robfosters]

Only if it is referred to as the heel of the loaf.

Certainly not. The correct term is the topper.

 

[~Divine~Wind~]

Makes the best cheese on toast!

 

[Mel_P]

The crust is the best bit - slice your own!

 

[HoneyBadger]

Depends on the type of bread.

Crusty sourdough then yes, Hovis or similar then no.

Agreed, fresh, SD, tiger etc then yep otherwise hell no!

 

[Junglist]

Certainly not. The correct term is the topper.

We always called it the 'bread back'.

I've always loved it though. Good excuse to lather it up with an obscene amount of butter

 

[Ree]

We call it the 'outsider'.

Never touch it unless its all that's left.
