Birdies and other varmints get mine.

Best tasting piece in the loaf.

Dad always told us kids “that’s where all the vitamins are”. As if kids gave a rats’s ass about vitamins.

I usually eat them last but if the wife gets to them first they're bird food.

The ends serve a vital function of protecting the delicate inside bread slices from drying out. Eat the inner slices till there are none, then eat the ends.

My Grandfather would fight you for them. He said they were the best.

Partaking of the end piece first is how you interview the loaf of bread.

My wife loves them, I don't. So it works out good for us.

Toast them after letting them protect all the other slices.

I just didn't expect the heel pieces to be so popular. Most people in my family are not fans, although I like them.

Elegant!

I dry mine and my freeloading deer eat them during the Winter/Spring.

Wife just made the first batch of bread made with freshly ground hard red winter wheat berries, using our micronizer grain mill and Bosch mixer. Much better than the previous batch made with commercial flour.
When that batch comes out of the oven, the heel is the first eaten; the rest doesn't last long.
I fear unwanted weight gain coming.

Love em. Especially on thick sliced bread.

Use to throw them away. Now I just save them just in case I run out of tp.

I didn’t vote because there is no use with soup or stew option. End pieces are great dunkers in certain soups and stews.
