    Calling all Yanks.

    I heard today that you call the end bit of bread 'the butt' and you dislike/ don't eat it?

    We call it 'the heel' in Ireland - it is thought of as the best bit of the loaf - the attainment of these fabled slices can give rise to arguments that can tear families apart, and a crisp (potato chip) sandwich between two heels is considered the height of decadence.

    Brits, where do you stand on this? - your bread and crisps may be shite, but all the more reason to eat the heel. Surely!

    Just the image of 'bread butts' as bookends still bagged decaying in 'the trash', oh jaysus me heart...

    • We only eat the butt here. The rest is thrown outscarabin
    • Keep the butt, I'll take the mouthbezoar
    • @scara Stop truth-telling. He'd have a heart attack if he knew how we ate potatoes.garbage
    • I had to train my partner to not eat the 'butt' first, so it protects the other slices from going stale too quick. best bit to toast though, when the time comesNairn
    • ..it becomes a reservoir for melted butter. And what do you mean Brit crisps are shite?! I've peeked behind the yellow Tayto curtain and it wasn't for meNairn
    • (Mind you, we don't much eat 'plastic bread', preferring fresh bread each day - until I get sentimental for basic British toast that is)Nairn
    • It annoys me, but crisps in Spain and Italy are waaay better than ours. Cunts.
      These days, all ours have sugar instead of good old fashioned salt. Bah.      Nairn
    • Ain't that the truth Nairn crisps on the continent are vastly superior. On the Tayto front there are 2 factories... the north has better tayto, also makeskingsteven
    • Golden wonder and Smith's for the UK... but they just got bought over by the same German company that owns KP. Quite the pairing...kingsteven
    • The best irish crisps are arguably keoghs. And our bread scene, particularly up north... I mean where to startkingsteven
    • So many of our own and a lot of English regional breads - crumpets and derbyshire oat cake availability could be improved.kingsteven
    • you can tell i'm trying to shift the lockdown gut right? gone full bobby sands with bread lust and scarabin's shit in my pants.kingsteven
    • "gone full bobby sands" oh jeez, lol

      I hope your partner's ok with your daubing Scarabin's shit on the walls..      Nairn
    • This is the best conversation. Unfortunately the best chip is stateside.garbage
    • Lolscarabin
    • I never eat the top heel, that just gets left at the top getting fingered each time going in for slices. Sometimes may eat the bottom heel though...microkorg
    • ..as a last resort. Just not a fan of the thickness of the heels. If it's thick enough sometimes can slice a third of the thickness off lol.microkorg
    • heh mk, i'm the only one in my house that eats batch bread so most of a loaf gets thrown in the compost - always get that hell out of there pronto :Dkingsteven
    • definitely no butt fingering in my kitchen hahahkingsteven
