I, too, would say that the "Knust" is the tail end of the "Kanten". Of
course, this is probably a strange concept altogether for our American
friends... :-)

When I go shopping in Gremany, I usually put the bread at the bottom of the
bag because it is the one thing guaranteed not to be squished. When I first
lived in America, I did the same and ended up with either a bagful of crumbs
or one big piece of "pita".

As to "jökeln":

I am surprised that the Duden doesn't even list the alternative word
"juckeln", which I thought was also used in High German. But there is a
listing for "Jucker", which is defined as "a light (Hungarian) carriage
horse". Maybe there is a connection there. But it doesn't seem to be related
to "jucken" (to itch) in any way.

There's no longer any need for that, at least not in more cosmopolitan areas
of the US.  Now even the ordinary supermarket chains carry "real" bread
(Italian- and French-style at least, some even German-style) besides
Wonderbread fluff and _söten Klitsch_.  So you can now enjoy real _krosse
Knüüst_, not just _Koken-Knackens_, if you fancy them.

Adjüüs!
