Northerners using the wrong words for loads of things

My local Scotmid has a tie in with Stuart's the bakers, which means they sell loads of great baked goods. Including curry pies, macaroni pies and awesome steak and haggis pies. However they've added a new item to the cake counter and its only a donut with Irn Bru flavoured icing! (Spelt Iron Brew so as to avoid a writ from Barrs I imagine). I've resisted all week but I had one today and it was glorious.

 

Good god this sounds utterly magical.

I have heard the word "heel" used before - often in folktales when someone would tear off the heel of a loaf of bread to do some sort of magic or other. Happened a lot in old English, Celtic and Russian stories.

 

My mum sometimes calls them "heels", when she's sounding more northern.
