What is this called? And do you eat it?

When it comes to bread, many people debate whether the end piece—often called the "butt" or "heel"—is the best part to eat or simply discarded. I’ve always enjoyed the chewy texture and slightly toasted flavor of the bread butt, especially when it’s fresh out of the oven. This piece tends to have a firmer crust and a denser inside, giving it a satisfying crunch with every bite. Interestingly, some people prefer to give the bread butt to their dogs or save it for breadcrumbs, claiming it’s too hard or dry to enjoy. However, I find that toasting or lightly buttering the butt can transform it into a delightful snack. It’s also a great way to reduce food waste, using every part of the loaf instead of tossing the ends. Different cultures have names for this bread section, and in some baking circles, it’s even sought after for certain recipes because of its texture. Whether you love it or leave it, the bread butt sparks fun discussions among bread lovers. What’s your take? Do you savor the crusty end, or do you think it belongs to your furry friends?
