The endcap covers the rest for them to stay fresh longer. It has a goddamn job to do.
I doubt the end being there makes much of a difference, it's already sliced and air can easily get into the cracks. Plus you're always taking the front piece which has supposedly had the most contact with the environment, so it doesn't have much of a chance to go bad. Furthermore by reaching your grubby fingers around to sneak a middle piece you probably pose a bigger risk of contamination to the loaf.
I'm not convinced this method keeps bread longer until it's put to the test.
And now it has served its purpose, now it must be put to rest.
When I was a kid, I could sit and eat an entire loaf of Sunmaid Cinnamon Raisin Bread. Literally the whole loaf in one sitting. I probably still could. Yum. Raisin bread.
First slice and last slice, AKA "The Dad Bread"
In days of old, my father ate the bread ends.
Now that I have a daughter, I am the one who eats the bread ends
We do this not because we enjoy them, but because it is our duty as fathers.
That or because otherwise my wife will just throw them to the dog. What a waste of perfectly good bread!
Not a father, but I actually enjoy the end slices.
In some parts of Mexico, the end caps are called the "suegras," the word for mother-in-law, because no one wants them. I think it's meant to sound like "sobras" which means leftovers.
Am I the only one who calls those the butt of the loaf?
I have always heard it called the heel.
Want to piss off a kid? Make them a butt-bread sandwich.
Nope, I call it the butt too.
We call it the nub.
Must be really shitty bread because first and last slices are the best
Bunch of people ain't getting curly hair!
Just make the first and last slices bigger! Damn you bread warlocks!
The ends are the best for toasties.
just scarf down the extra crusty bread by itself. Its not suitable for sandwiches, but you know, just the bread by itself is still fine.
I leave the first one to get stale from the lazy wrap job.
Finally, a good fuckin' meme!
I love the end slices but hate when they are cut so thin that they fall apart in your hand.
I'll even eat the last slice, but the first one is destined for the trash
