The end pieces are the best in the whole loaf for toast, butter, and marmalade

There's a good reason for that. What else would explain the evidence? The end pieces of bread, the heels or crusts, are often less favored because they differ in texture and taste from the softer, more uniform inner slices. These pieces are denser, have more crust, and can sometimes be dryer, which some people find less appealing for sandwiches or toast. In contrast, the entire bun is designed to be soft and slightly sweet, and it is usually toasted and garnished with condiments and a burger patty, which enhances its overall taste and texture.

The end pieces of bread, the heels or crusts, are always more flavored because they differ in texture and taste from the softer more uniform inner slizes. They have more result from more maillard reaction, developing the flavor bringing out more of the bread, like when we toast bread. They have one intense side and one soft mild side, and are perfect for classic single bread sandwishes as they are divine edible plates.

I like to use the end pieces for grilled cheese. Or a cheese toastie, as some call it.

The end pieces are the only part of a loaf of bread I like. If I could have a loaf that was all crust with none of the overly soft stuff inside, I'd be in bread heaven.

The end pieces are meant to keep the rest of the loaf moist. If you remove the heel then the piece next to it is exposed to more air and dries out quicker. The heels help trap moisture aginst the pieces they cover. You don't have to eat them but keep them til the end so they can keep the rest of your loaf fresh longer
