I've heard these called heels and loaf ends, but also hoes (because everyone touches them but doesn't want to keep them, which was funny in the 90s when I was 12 but now I find just awful and mean).
What do you call them?
"The butt", as in "do you want the butt?"
I call them the "dad bread", because Dad ends up eating them.
We call them butt bread
In french, "le quignon". I have no idea where this word comes from, what it means, and if every French people use this word.
I don't like the "quignon" but my wife does. I think we complete each others.
I've lived in France for 20 years and never heard that word.
I'll check and see what my wife calls it...
Elle dit quignon.
Bon voilà, à 42 ans j'apprends le mot quignon. 30 ans que je parle français, 20 ans en France... Merci !
That felt oddly wholesome.
I'll translate for others:
This story arc really rounded off the wholesomeness* of this post.
*it's definitely a valid word
Didn't even realize I wrote that in French!
We have lots of terms for it in German: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanten#Weitere_regionale_Bezeichnungen
In the UK (or at least my bit of the UK), we call them "crusts".
Round my bit we call them 'heels', or 'end bits', but I've heard all manner of names over the years.
