end piece

Capping section component

The end piece is the portion at either extremity of something, especially food: the heel of a bread loaf, the first or last slice of a roast.

End pieces are often less desirable—crusty, irregular, or mostly edge—though some prefer them: I actually like the end piece of the meatloaf.
