Dull Thread Alert. Are you a sandwich cutting 'weirdo'? Apparently I am.

I disagree. Obviously

I also eat it in a set order.
First the long top curved piece, then the long bottom, then the 2 sides and finish with the middle.

Curious to know why you started cutting your sandwiches like that OP.
I've never seen anyone do it your way.

I've done it for as long as i can remember. I have a terrible overbite so make a right mess trying to bite into things. Sandwich filling ends up everywhere.

Although thats not really a reason why I do it this specific way, now I think about it

I can get on board with it as long as the filling is right to the edges, otherwise you're just getting crust and no filling.

IncompleteSenten · 28/11/2025 12:31

It is. I do like a very well filled sandwich.

It's a sandwich not a body being autopsied and dissected!

Cut in half, eat the crust then the middle and repeat is the most sane way to do this surely? Or just cut the crusts off like a toddler?

🤣 who sent me the care button ya cheeky bugger?!

I stand by my sandwich. I refuse to accept my son is right.

He is though 😂

Are you going for "lady like" finger sandwiches?

OneFootAfterTheOther · 28/11/2025 12:37

Good grief, that’s appalling.

IncompleteSenten · 28/11/2025 12:37

I bet you all secretly want to do it now, just the once. Like an itch you've got to scratch.

Well, I've shoved my sandwich down my throat and need to go back to work.

Definitely weirdo 😂

Did you 'cut' it with your fingers - it doesn't look very neat?

And might I ask, for how long has this been your habit?

GCAcademic · 28/11/2025 12:38

WTAF is wrong with you?

Newsenmum · 28/11/2025 12:39

the top curved bit is the absolute worst

DietQueen2023 · 28/11/2025 12:39

What the fuck is that?!

Keffert · 28/11/2025 12:39

You are indeed a sandwich cutting weirdo. You also appear to be a sandwich eating weirdo. Why would you eat the top crust first? That’s the best bit and should be saved til the end!

Mochudubh · 28/11/2025 12:41

I'm pretty sure that testing the best way to cut a sandwich was how Pythagoras came up with his theorem.

Mochudubh · 28/11/2025 12:42

But Pi is more useful for comparing crust to middle ratios of differently sized pizzas.

Or indeed, pies.

Are you on glue ?

Clear psychopathic tendencies

OnGoldenPond · 28/11/2025 12:47

That’s seriously strange! Shock

bestbefore · 28/11/2025 12:47

Weirdo

fizzyroselemonade · 28/11/2025 12:48

I could actually get on board with cutting and eating it like that as it leaves the best, most filled bit in the middle for eating last. (I'll ignore the fact that you could obviously eat the sandwich to leave the middle bit for last without the faffy cutting). But good grief woman - get a sharp knife! It looks like it's been hacked with a spoon!!

itsthetea · 28/11/2025 12:48

It’s not what I would do but why not ?

The Duke of Sandwich will be turning in his grave.

Earl of Sandwich!

To be precise, John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, the inventor of the sandwich.

(Yes, I am an unbearable pedant and I have no friends! Grin).

blastfurnace · 28/11/2025 12:54

I was prepared to say YABU but having read your specific order for eating the sandwich I think you might actually be a genius, this makes so much sense!

Talltreesbythelake · 28/11/2025 13:01

You should cut sandwiches into triangles, obviously. It's so sad to watch the decline of civilisation. It's like the fall of Rome round these parts.
