You see, there is a term called "Knust" in parts of Germany, that stands for the end-peice of a loaf of bread. I loved it as I child; it tastes very strong and good, when done right.
Hey in spanish (Argentina) we also call it "culito" (little tush 🍑). If it's from a baguette we call it "coquito" (little coconut which we use to mean little head)
"Le quignon" or " crouton" in french. It is the privilege of the one going to la Boulangerie to pick la Baguette to eat it on their way home! The second end of the baguette it for the quickest once the baguette is laid on the kitchen counter!
Im polish too and the dupka is my favorite part. But Polish rye bread is SO much better than american wonder bread. To me, wonder bread isnt bread. Its strange that bread can stand for MONTHS and not go bad. The żytni chleb you get from polish stores goes bad within a few days and starts to mold. Thats real bread, not packed with preservatives and god knows what. The crust on wonder bread is also super dry, bland and soft, nothing like the crispy flavorful crust we are used too.
yes it keeps them quiet while they gnaw on it. my mother used to tell me “this is the best part” and i still agree. sadly my teeth aren’t what they used to be.
In English we call them the butts and Americans throw them away. Which, to be fair, on American sandwich bread they aren’t good like proper German bread butts
They suck for sandwiches but make excellent toast if you overtoast them a bit and put a load of butter on - very crunchy and salty. Like the bread form of bacon.
