breadcrusts
Sandwich end pieces
Breadcrusts are the firm outer edges of a loaf of bread, darker and chewier than the soft interior.
Children famously resist eating them: She cut the crusts off his sandwich.
The word typically appears in plural, referring to these edges collectively or to scraps left behind after eating.
