-18 The end pieces of a bread loaf are the best pieces. amirite?

by Anonymous 2 years ago

We cut our sourdough at our cafe. We don't serve the end bits to customers. We keep them in a bag labelled "bread butts" and the staff eat them. It's the best part of the morning.

I work in a restraunt that does something similar, where we make the end pieces of baguettes into garlic bread

The old owner used to freeze them and make croutons. I'd rather the staff eat them though.

The end piece of sourdough is acceptable, but the regular sandwich bread end pieces aren't

Bingo!

I'm glad you use the correct bread butt terminology. I've heard some really crazy alternatives like heel. Who in their right mind eats heel??

I agree on the toast bit. They are so much better toasted than the other slices, I do prefer the middle slices when not toasted though.

I love the end pieces of bread too. It's like a ghetto bun.

That's such a great analogy lol. I've always eaten them and never understood the hate

In france it's called "le quignon", and it's a delicacy people are willing to fight for.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

How is it a delicacy if the end of bread is neither rare or luxurious?

Now this is unpopular

I literally just eat the end pieces of bread loafs because they're so good. Don't even put anything on them.

It's actually called the "hoe" piece cuz everyone touches it but no one ever wants it 😂

Me and my little brother used to fight over the ends

I actually agree! Give me bread butt

They are the best for grilled cheese or in a press.

One end is always thicker too. It sucks up more peanut butter. Why don't they cut it in half and give an even number of slices instead of an odd number??

I love the end pieces

For sandwiches I disagree, but the crusts moment to shine is dunking in soup, maintains its structural integrity and also absorbs way more soup than an inner slice

When sliced evenly with the same thickness as the other slices, I completely agree.

Just the heel, Julia!

Depends on the type of bread.

I want a bag of just bread butts

by Anonymous 2 years ago

I like bread butts and I cannot lie

It depends on the bread. The multigrain or whole wheat loaves that I tend to buy are much sturdier, so the center slices are in no danger of falling apart. Toasting the end pieces can make them too tough and dry. Note that I'm really just remarking that different kinds of (sliced) bread are different, not that your opinion about end pieces is wrong in general.

My fiancé calls that birdseed bread HAHAH

Even worse are the people who don't eat the crusts on regular slices of bread Then again, I am told not all people have as strong a teeth as mine

by Anonymous 2 years ago

I wouldn't say they're better but they are pretty good. Only the wheat ones with the nuts for extra crunch

by Anonymous 2 years ago

Great for croutons I must say

by Anonymous 2 years ago

The butt ends are important in keeping the rest of the loaf moist. When it's done doing its job, I ceremoniously toast them and then heavily butter them up and spread a light coat of jam on there 🤤 it's honestly the best 👌

We call them "Katie Price" as everyone's touched them and no one wants them.

That's the hoe piece..everybody touches it but nobody wants it

They were always known as the heels of the bread. TIL…booty bread and that is what is shall always be. Thank you!

It's called 'the heel'. I can't believe this is unpopular but also I'm glad it is because people give me their heels.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

I love the heel parts of the bread.

French bread? Yes. Whole wheat sandwich bread? The worst part.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

It's only good when the bread is freshly baked

by Anonymous 2 years ago

I agree haha I'll only eat them if toasted tho if we're talking "good ole" sliced bread. But any kind of "real" bread that's the best part. Mmmmm crust and ends 🤤 when I was a younger I used to eat all the bread from inside a bun first just so I could enjoy the crust separately. My mother used to use the end peaces by tearing them up and putting them in a bowl with milk, banana slices and nesquick powder 😅 or bread that was getting a little hard haha. I hate people who just throw them out, like that could easily be a toasted "bun" for something. Anyways. People call me weird cuz of my love for bread.

They're not the best part lol. But they're hardly different from the rest. It's just more bread.

Depends on the type of bread. Any good crusty bread? Delicious, especially when toasted and buttered. White sandwich bread? Blech.

I'd rather starve than eat the butts of bread.

Fresh bread -yes, store bought sliced bread-no

I make homemade bread all the time for starts. But store bought bread ends, I'm not a fan. Homemade bread it's crazy good!

by Anonymous 2 years ago

As toast yes. But I don't think I'd make a sandwich out of it unless that was ALL that was left, and it would have to be a pb&j or something

by Anonymous 2 years ago

This is an amazing unpopular opinion. I'm gonna try that with my soup or chili next time, toasted.

by Anonymous 2 years ago

This is an opinion I also grew into. It's like having the edge of a brownie, just extra texture

These pieces are called the hoe. Lol. Because everyone touches it, but nobody wants it.
