THE END PIECES ARE THE BEST PART!

Ends rule.

Perhaps this was inspired by....Chaos Bread?

Captain Button

So this is where Clinton gets superpowers?

Chris Mannes

Seriously, it just needs a filling. Something creamy. And wow, this sounds bad.

Woo, happy comic number forty-four-forty-four!

End pieces are good

End pieces are great!

Flip the marketing pitch on its head: it's not "just the ends of a baguette", it's "raw croutons"

Why is Elliot such a goober?

I really hope they work out. They are adorable

Isn't that just a bun?

When I was a kid my mother would get sourdough baguettes from Safeway and I liked to eat them after they they got stale, they were nice and crunchy. Unfortunately Safeway's sourdough sucks now.

END PIECE SQUAD cronch

Buck Caldwell

Man, the end pieces are the best, but you need the center pieces to make the end pieces correctly.

BobC

The ends are butter cups, and Clinton forgot the butter: Mo' butta, mo' betta!

But wouldn't that just be a crusty roll?

Yeah, but really really crunchy. Too crunchy. Suitable for dipping in stews but not much more.

I did not come here to be insulted!

I love eating the heel (end piece) of a loaf of bread! Multiple times I've wondered aloud to my mother-in-law (who makes bread for us) if it would be possible to make bread such that it was just all heel. I think that would basically be a bread pancake. Thank you for making this; this is wonderful! (And Clinton and Elliot are both such cute goobers.)

I like the end pieces and I will admit to being wierd 😝

I like the end pieces but I also like the middle pieces. Wouldn't this just be a bun of some sort though?

Will Weaver

Back to the drawing board, Elliot.

Thisguy

Hmmm, that could possibly work with the right condiments. Garlic butter, cheese, relish. Either cut in half and spread (or melted in) or dipped. They could good for dipping.

Gary Sumners

Those are uncut croutons for my soup!

I'm one of the end piece freaks. A good bread crust is what I came for, so the end pieces are the whole POINT. (people who cut crusts off of bread; it's okay, they took care of the stone chip issue awhile back, it's now safe to eat)

I cannot believe this comic does not contain a butts joke.

These sound perfect for clarified butter with garlic dipping to me... maybe toss in a smidge of rosemary, thyme or some other favorite herb?

This is a butt joke and we all know it

That was a lot of bread talk in the comments - WHEN THEY ARE SO CUTE!!!!

Frankly, this seems like something Roko might enjoy experimenting with.

Like one of those zig-zag brownie pans meant to achieve more corner squares.

Jennifer Doyle

Heels are for applying fat (oil/butter), seasoning, and then toasting in the oven to become croutons or homemade breadcrumbs.

Isn't that just a roll?

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that.

Bread egg. Bregg.

I would eat these until I weighed five thousand pounds.

This reminds me of the Top Of The Muffin To You cafe on Seinfeld. They had to learn the hard way that you can't just make muffin tops without the stumps. You have to make the whole muffin to get a good top. And you probably have to bake a whole loaf to get good heels/butts.

Trying to cut the end piece of a baguette is what lead to me needing surgery. I despise them now

Hugh Eckert

My spouse like the end pieces. Me, not so much. We are well matched in this and many many other ways.

In Germany, there are 217 different words for the end piece of a bread, therefore you can tell where somebody is coming from by hearing them say "their" word for it :) I am a "Knust" lover.

Jon Guyer

I was expecting Elliott to bring out a bready Moravian star

Bagge

Reminds me of those weird pans that allow you to make brownies with only crusts

I have indelible memories of picking up a still-warm baguette from the bakery on my walk home from work, tearing off the end, and happily eating it as I walked down the street

huh, the strip number is four fours

People who like the end pieces *are* weird. To be clear: I think this is a good thing. People who aren't weird tend to be the worst. Thank you for being weird for us, Jeph. (Confession: I like the end pieces. My ex dislikes the end pieces, so that worked well. She's weird in other ways, however, so it's not like she's normal.)

Isn't that basically just a roll?

Never have I been so offended by something I completely agree with.

Vanestus

I like the end pieces of bread, especially if it's fresh with plenty of butter.

Anonymous

If loads of butter was injected in the bread egg, like a donut, this could be revolutionary

Frédéric B.

Baguettes that are jut the end pieces do exist: https://crushmag-online.com/recipe/pain-depi/ It's called *baguette épi* or *pain épi* (cob baguette/bread)

FYI, the end of a baguette, or a whole day-old baguette is a deadly weapon. I have cut myself on baguette crust, and I have a friend who straight up broke a tooth biting into a baguette.

Anonymous

WANT. My spouse hates crust and I love it. When we get served bread at restaurants, we cut it in half and tear out the middle. They eat the middle, I eat the crusts.

Oh, I've even seen those. There was a bakery on Shattuck in Berkeley that had them sometimes, back when I lived there in like '99-'03.

eliot invented the bread roll

Wait 'till you hit a bakery here in Germany. Your mind will be blown away by the abundance of different types of bread rolls. :D

I agree with Elliot.

Comics Ladybird

Your wife made you add the disclaimer, didn’t she? Because basically half of France (your truly included) would be offended if you hadn’t. Quignons here are Serious Business.

Chris Crowther

Uh...I really like the end pieces. Pls sign me up for baguEgg.

jimbo

huh, more of jeph's autobio!

Leugi

Bolivians mastered the art of Bread Eggs/Quignons and called them "Marraquetas", and thanks to its crunchyness its delicious alongside coffee and cheese.

If you tested this with an actual guinea pig, would it mistake it for a pup?

English has a lot of words for them too! I've seen ‘heel’ and ‘butt’ in these comments. The one from my home region in England is ‘noggin’.

My cousins would sword fight with stale baguettes, they made fun thunk noises until they broke in a huge mess everywhere. lol.

Mark

Given Clinton's reaction to soda bread, it wasn't very likely that he'd go for this. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3780

TubaGinger

I was expecting “so... you made a roll?”

William Cole

All geniuses are unappreciated in their time. The world isn't ready for breggs.

Lol Elliot thinks he invented petit pain

That's exactly what I thought. Two end pieces without a middle is basically a bread roll. And there's nothing wrong with a good bread roll.

DAMN YOU, I WENT TO THAT LINK AND NOW I AM STUCK READING FROM THERE AND I AM ON 3968 NOW AND I HAVE THINGS I NEEDED TO DO THIS MORNING :)

I always have to give up the "nose" on baguette loaves to my wife
