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.

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

For some unknown reason that made me shudder.

This thread is brilliant and reminds me of the old days of MN. Thanks, OP.
Aand your son is right, that's bonkers in every level.

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

This is the correct sandwich cutting technique.

RescueMeFromThisSilliness · 28/11/2025 15:10

Any self-respecting toddler would ignore all four sides (with the crusts, aaarghhh!) and just eat the small square in the middle.

BarnacleBeasley · 28/11/2025 15:12

WTF. Do you do this when you're making a packed lunch too OP?

ItsABarbecueShowdown · 28/11/2025 15:12

My dd had a peanut allergy test in hospital and that’s how they cut a piece of toast for her. So that she could be given bigger and bigger pieces of toast with peanut butter on until she had a reaction.

Shedmistress · 28/11/2025 15:13

I dont think I could fit the crisps in, in that sandwich configuration. I cant have a sandwich without crisps so that is my main issue here.

EuroTour · 28/11/2025 15:14

wtf is that? Beyond weird.

Beamur · 28/11/2025 15:15

Weird. But I can see the logic.
I might try it when no one is looking.

Beenaboutabit · 28/11/2025 15:23

OP and this thread has made a dull rainy Friday a delight.

OP you’re definitely weird AF but in the best way.

And I’m pretty sure that M&S Wholemeal medium sliced bread. And if I’m right, I’m concerned about my bread-spotting ability

Allmarbleslost · 28/11/2025 15:26

Way over the line op. I hope you're ashamed

BiggyJ · 28/11/2025 15:33

It's the sandwich equivalent of a Rorschach ink blot.

You OK hun? 😁

Choconuts · 28/11/2025 15:37

I don’t cut my sandwich like that but I do eat it in the same order - eating round the edge and saving the middle best bit to last

topcat2014 · 28/11/2025 15:38

May as well just blend it up and eat it through a straw

AshesUnderUricon · 28/11/2025 15:43

The bottom section is almost entirely bread. I would not want to eat that bit.

therewasafishinthepercolator · 28/11/2025 15:52

This is one of the worst things I've read on here. How could decimate your sammich so? An abomination.

I'd feel like I was being half starved eating those tiny little pieces.

Two big rectangles for me. I (illogically) feel like I'm getting a bigger sandwich if its in rectangles.

DH likes to cut them into 4 dainty triangles. Fuck that. That feels like 4 bites to me.

therewasafishinthepercolator · 28/11/2025 15:56

I really wish we had the laugh emoji back. I'm having to heart amusing posts like a weirdo. It's giving them a weird gravitas.

Livingthebestlife · 28/11/2025 15:58

RIP dearest sandwich ⚰️🥪

you clearly eat in the wrong order there:

  1. Bottom bit
  2. Left side bit
  3. Right side bit
  4. top bit
  5. middle bit

Any other order is utter folly

SnowyThings · 28/11/2025 16:23

I really like this! My method is cross cross, 4 small party sandwiches but I like your finger method and would do the same order, i.e. crusty arcs first.

thesugarbumfairy · 28/11/2025 16:32

I don't eat the crusts. Sorry but I feel its a waste of my precious calories. I want to enjoy my bits of bread with filling in it. (there are rare occasions when I enjoy certain bread crusts, but it is rare) No I dont like the crustless bread either.
So in this example Id happily eat the middle (peak sandwich) and nibble at the sides, then discard the rest. However I would not cut it like that.
What I want is a cutter that's bread shaped, but slightly smaller than the bread I'm eating (so square with a slight domed top) Maybe its expandable to fit my specific loaf.

WHAT IS THIS PERVERSION?!

I'm reporting immediately. That image is hate speech!

MrsMitford3 · 28/11/2025 16:48

Oh dear Lord.

Think this is number 2 on the "are you a psychopath?" test

And why are you telling people????

JenaWren · 28/11/2025 16:50

OMG - me too!! I’m a toast cutting weirdo.

Only toast though. Never sandwiches!
