how do you cut your sandwiches?

I've just been introduced the concept of cutting sandwiches in a RANDOM PATTERN.

not in half or quarters.... nope. Just cut random angles, and end up with about 5-7 pieces of various shapes.


it's changed my life...

I clearly need to get out more

For what purpose would you cut them in a random pattern?

I cut mine in diagonals and end up with 4 triangles... like a normal person.

I cut in half longways if it's something like bacon and sometimes I cut across the other way into 2. If tuna or something that will fall out I cut into triangles or squares.

I cut straight across in half, then turn the top piece of bread so there is a crust each side...

God the idea of cutting them at random is making my teeth itch!! But I’m the kind of woman who alphabetises her spice rack, so...

Two triangles. Always.

Regular sandwich is cut straight across the middle (side to side) so I end up with two rectangles.

If I'm feeling fancy, it's diagonally, so have two triangles 😂😂

always horizontal, I hate diagonal butties. Liking this idea of random bits for a change! When I help with friends' kids parties, I sometimes use animal cutters and eat the trimmings

Two triangles, always unless it's bacon then it's four squares.

No, I don't know why!

If sliced bread, 4 triangles, obviously, there is no other way.

Breadcake/bap it gets sliced in half.

I like to live on the wild side too OP.

I purposely do it front of DP as he is a rigid diagonal cutter. I like to do it straight down the middle of the sandwich. So like two long strips of rebellion.

When I make my sons' lunchbox sandwiches (yes, they could do their own; I like doing it, it's a little pleasure that started during lockdown now I don't have to leave the house in the morning, so shoot me...), I cut them into oblongs, for ease of packing - but with two passes of the knife rather than one, leaving me with a thin sandwich sliver from the middle to steal. I've done that for years.
