Pole to ploe is incorrect.

Around the equator is the One True Way.

Any deviation from this means you are a Sarnie Deviant.

Angry

Oh, triangles are acceptable. Mmmkay?

AIBU?

Dd gets triangles.

Ds gets rectangles.

Dh and I don't eat bread.

MortifiedAdams · 26/04/2013 19:24

Triangles are only acceptable for toast. Sandwiches should be cut straight across tge middle. Mind, the right sandwich should be in a large round white floury bap which doesnt need cutting.

Freddiemisagreatshag · 26/04/2013 19:24

There is also a right and wrong way to hold a sandwich. not the weird way DS does it that drives me batty

grumpygov · 26/04/2013 19:24

Triangles only. They taste so much nicer.

MardyBra · 26/04/2013 19:25

Wtf do you mean by pole to ploe (sic) and around the equator.

Can you please draw a diagram?

MardyBra · 26/04/2013 19:26

I do squares unless I am trying to be posh, then it's triangles.

overprotection · 26/04/2013 19:26

Triangles are for immature people, they think eating triangle sandwiches make them appear cooler than they actually are.

DameFanny · 26/04/2013 19:26

Triangles are Acksherley the one true way. There's science and everything about the increased ratio of filling to bread in each mouthful.

You luddite.

DameFanny · 26/04/2013 19:27

Oh, sorry, I see that should be you luddites

MardyBra · 26/04/2013 19:27

I once did a thread on carrot cutting. I am a luddite because I do circles sometimes.

Fakebook · 26/04/2013 19:28

Triangles for sweet fillings.

Rectangles for savoury fillings.

Fingers for the baby.

hazeyjane · 26/04/2013 19:28

No triangles, for toast or sandwiches.

Cut across the middle, all the crust on one side.

Never cut through the crust.

Doinmummy · 26/04/2013 19:29

They have to be cut length wise so that each half has a bit if top crust and a bit of bottom crust.

LadyBeagleEyes · 26/04/2013 19:29

Triangles of course.
It's all about the presentation Grin
They just look nicer, and I always cut off the crusts.

BanjoPlayingTiger · 26/04/2013 19:29

My ds swears his butties taste better if I cut them into triangles.

I would scoff, but I prefer them that way too.

So, yes. YABU. :)

SadGiantPanda · 26/04/2013 19:29

Just eat bamboo. No need for stupid sandwiches. Or sadwiches as I call them.

Doinmummy · 26/04/2013 19:29

X post haze

I was once accused of having unnatural ways with radishes.

FBmum · 26/04/2013 19:32

Aren't you all cutting your children's sandwiches into cutsie shapes like hearts, dolphins and kittens, as dictated by Annabel Karcrash? Confused

How do you not cut through the crust hazeyjane? Isn't it on all four sides? Confused

And what are the poles of the sandwich?

I cut mine in triangles, numbering 2. Husband's in rectangles. A Small Boy either triangles numbers 4 or squares, also numbering 4, depending on his mood.

MardyBra · 26/04/2013 19:33

OK, if Chaos has buggered off, can anyone else explain this pole to ploe/equator thing?

That analogy would suggest that Chaos is making spherical, globe-shaped sandwiches.

Fold toast rather than cut it

Sandwiches should be triangles
