90% of cooking is that golden Maillard reactions... only exception is bread, where people want the ones with less Maillard reactions
Yeah, I don't want the crispy OUTSIDE of the croissant nearly as much as I NEED to have the fluffy, chewy, glutinous inside of the croissant. Like, don't get me wrong, I don't dislike it, but it's definitely not the part I bought the pastry for.
The sole exception is when there's something else on the outside of the bread or pastry, at which point the turns table.
they compliment each other so much, a 100% crispy croissant would be a disappointment, and a 100% fluffy croissant would be gross.
I've heard these called heels and loaf ends, but also hoes (because everyone touches them but doesn't want to keep them, which was funny in the 90s when I was 12 but now I find just awful and mean).
What do you call them?
I call them the "dad bread", because Dad ends up eating them.
We call them butt bread
We have lots of terms for it in German: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanten#Weitere_regionale_Bezeichnungen
In the UK (or at least my bit of the UK), we call them "crusts".
Round my bit we call them 'heels', or 'end bits', but I've heard all manner of names over the years.
In french, "le quignon". I have no idea where this word comes from, what it means, and if every French people use this word.
I don't like the "quignon" but my wife does. I think we complete each others.
I've lived in France for 20 years and never heard that word.
I'll check and see what my wife calls it...
Elle dit quignon.
Bon voilà, à 42 ans j'apprends le mot quignon. 30 ans que je parle français, 20 ans en France... Merci !
That felt oddly wholesome.
I'll translate for others:
she said quignon.
there we go, at 42yo I learned the word quignon. [After] speaking French for 30 years and living in France for 20 years... Thanks!
This story arc really rounded off the wholesomeness* of this post.
*it's definitely a valid word
Didn't even realize I wrote that in French!
The crust is the best part of bread.
Fight me.
Only think I’ll fight you for is the ends!
Makes the best peanut butter tacos.
Yes for a good crusty loaf, but your cheap sliced bread from the grocery store? That crust is the worst.
While true, if you put the crust part on the inside of the sandwich, you can barely tell.
Except it’s sliced to me like one millimetre thick because “nobody” likes the crust.
Toasted, the butt ends make a great sandwich.
The world is heeling
It was worth the wait.
Only monsters eat the heel first.
I used to eat it right away, but then I realized keeping it helps the next slice from drying out.
Wholemeal bread.
Just two butts in love
We’re called bottoms, thank you.
