Do you like the butt

Hi!
When I read the title of your discussion, I got startled because the meaning of butt says - To hit or push against with the head or horns. However, when I read the entire discussion I could get the exact meaning. Like you too, when we were children we did not like butt of bread. However, now we ourselves have become parents and know the cost of bread, because we go and buy it. We prefer not to waste our bread and we use its first and the last piece, to the extent possible. If you bake these pieces pefectly, it gives you some good taste.

It makes me wonder why people treat them differently when all of them were baked together from the same lump of flour. Like your youngest son, I love them too because it's crunchier to eat than the rest of the loaf, and putting the two ends together would make a pie.

when i was a little boy, i was not being encouraged to eat the first & last of the bread. the reason is, my whole family of 4 will never finish a bread & it would be a waste to throw away the center part instead of the front & end part.

but when i reached my youth, i remember i went for a training at somewhere far away from my home & lived with the others. there, we were taught to take the first piece if we came first, followed by the others, until the last. there's no leftovers & everyone should eat everything being served.

as for now, i won't say that it is the best part of worst part of the bread. i just eat all of them.:)

Hello sacmom.....

For me the butt is the best the taste no other slice will have there....

And it is fully baked and non sticky when you chew it.....

I wish the whole bread is all nothing but butts,but butts are not there what to do

It doesn't really matter to me. It tastes the same it's just a little smaller than the rest. If I just want 1 piece of toast and not a whole sandwich I go for the butt.
I also like the end pieces of meatloaf or a roast.

Hello my friend

How are you?

I actually like it, I think its unfair to throw the ends away, I also give it to my grandson, he use to say grandma I don't want that not anymore lol, he eats it and so do I, there is a difference in the taste but its o.k still worth eating to me.

Thank you my friend.

i like them on sandwiches-like patties.
makes kind of like a bun top.but they are great for chicken or fish patties.

Where I grew up we called it the heel. Funny thing is, they are now finding that the crusts of bread are healthier for you, so the heel would be extra healthy. I like it okay, but it does not do well in the toaster.

I’ve always loved the butt end of the bread and I am the only the one in my family which is great so I don’t have to fight anybody for it! I prefer it toasted because it is usually thicker and I love thick toast. I love making sandwiches with the butt ends; it’s like a little roll, yum!

Most of the time I skip it and move onto the next slice. It is very tasty but most often chewy. I use to eat so many more sandwiches growing up and didn't like the end but if it was the very last of the bread, I ate it.
