What do you call the end slice of a loaf of bread?

Fucking Crust wankers, the Crust is the top of the loaf. Anyone with brains knows the end Slices are called the Heel.

I'm intrigued. Please ask her what she calls it.

Probably “doorstep” or “knobby”. The first is also for any slice that’s extra thick, like an inch so that it resembles an end slice.

The crust is the outside of the loaf not just the top. I reckon “crust” became standard parlay in the UK to describe the slices with the most crust as opposed to the slices with just edges of crust. Nobody was throwing out any of the bread anyway so “crust” is just shorthand vernacular.
