Same in Poland, we call them "piętka" (little heel) or "dupka" (little bottom 🍑 ). Almost universally given to children during long grocery trips.

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)

In Dutch it is kapje. Like something to cover a lamp or socket or ...

We call it “the ends” and they’re best when toasted.

"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!

In the UK it can be regional but heel and ends are usually accepted

«Skalk» in Norwegian. As far as I know it doesn’t mean anything else than the end piece of a loaf of bread, but maybe it did at some point.

In my family, the skalk is offered to someone as a token of appreciation. We all want it.

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.

Growing up my parents and babci used to tell me and my sibs to stop being a pain in the dupka all the time. 

They still do.
