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.

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.

😂

the80sweregreat · 28/11/2025 13:09

Depends on the knife in my house.
Or what mood im in!

RaraRachael · 28/11/2025 13:10

Never seen a sandwich cut like that in all my years OP. Very weird.
I cut either across or diagonally.

CointreauQuaint · 28/11/2025 13:10

Is this a cry for help? Do you want us to call someone op?!

I think I could get onboard with your cutting method, I’d save the curved crust part until last to savour it.

Yes - the top crust is definitely the best bit!

the80sweregreat · 28/11/2025 13:11

I used to cut them up like that for children.
It just made it easier for them to eat.

DrFoxtrot · 28/11/2025 13:12

Aside from the completely unacceptable cutting pattern, the way it’s been badly hacked with a blunt knife also makes it look dry and unappealing 😬

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 28/11/2025 13:13

I thought this was going to be how I cut Sandwiches, which is half way between straight across and diagonal.

I actually did a SIOB at that OP. What the fuck is it it?!

And doesn't the filling from the middle bit squidge out all over your hand when you bite it without reinforcement from the more robust crust?

caramac04 · 28/11/2025 13:14

Definitely weird and especially so for eating the crust piece first. Crust is always last so it can be truly savoured.

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).

D'oh, knew it was something like that.

That made me recoil, with a sharp intake of breath and whispered “No!”.

Oh no the crust is the worst!

ShinyWorthKeeping · 28/11/2025 13:26

What the hell is this 😂 is there a reason for this abomination?

HarryVanderspeigle · 28/11/2025 13:27

I follow the same eating pattern as you, but don't cut the sandwich at all. Just eat all the edges, then get to enjoy the good bit in the middle. Much easier.

WibbleyPie · 28/11/2025 13:31

My BIL is the sandwich heathen in our family, as he cuts crust to base, much to my sister's (a self confessed sandwich snob) disgust, this however is next level and I think even he would draw the line at that.

catin8oot5 · 28/11/2025 13:53

You’re a lunatic. And I work with serial killers.

pinkpony88 · 28/11/2025 13:57

But the crust is the “clean” bit that you hold so the middle bit with no crust is going to get the filling on your fingers? Isn’t it? 😬

HorrorAndHaagenDazs · 28/11/2025 13:59

Diabolical.

NotEnoughRoom · 28/11/2025 14:06

I cut mine into 4 triangles to avoid the corner crusts which I hate - so basically your cutting has completely missed the point!

deeahgwitch · 28/11/2025 14:13

Idontknowhatnametochoose · 28/11/2025 12:18

It looks completely unappealing cut like that!

💯agree

Ginmonkeyagain · 28/11/2025 14:13

You are an absolute monster. That is all.

Stillpoor · 28/11/2025 14:14

I think it's fine i cut mine in to 4 squares.
The only problem I see in you pic, is what the hell is in that sandwich 🥪, it dose not look tasty.

Crucible · 28/11/2025 14:18

I bet you put on one sock then the shoe, then the other sock then the other shoe.

Egglio · 28/11/2025 14:21

I haven't seen a sandwich cut like this before but now that I have I am completely on board with your order of eating, it makes total sense to me. As I'm writing that, I realise that this is exactly how I cut my portion of lasagne to eat, except each part gets cut into smaller bite size pieces as I go along. So I'll join your weird club.

That's the product of a disturbed mind 🤯👍😁
