Which end of a slice of bread do you prefer? Booly or Clappy?

Booly end is at the top, clappy at the bottom

From my childhood (by oral transmission, with no spelling); a Northumbrian dialect ("Pitmatic") term for the ends of a slice of traditionally-shaped bread is booly - i.e. because round like a ball (or bool); and clappy - because flattened as if clapped, or slapped-down-upon, a table (or anything else).

As a kid I much preferred the clappie end, and would always take it for preference. 

But now I'm grown-up my taste has reversed, and I will go for the booly end - if given the choice.  

In Medieval times, bread was cut horizontally so the booly ends and most of the bread, were detached from the clappie end - which was used as a plate or "trencher"; which after the meal, having soaked up various juices, might be given to The Poor. 

This was because bread ovens were insulated stone or brick boxes, pre-heated with burning wood. The ash was then mostly raked out, and the bread baked ASAP while the oven still retained its heat... 

But the clappy end would inevitably be permeated with wood ash, which is why it was sawn-off before serving.   

Whether this is relevant to my current booly preference is doubtful -- My worry is that the change signifies a covert transfer of allegiance from the Saxon peasantry of my ancestors (who would have got the clappie trenchers to eat, if they were lucky) to their evil Norman overlords that kept the booly for themselves.
