Things that inexplicably taste better when you change their shape

Cheddar cheese just tastes better to me if you grate it first and then eat it in little squished up balls of grated cheese 🤣

What else tastes better when you change its shape but don’t do anything else to it?

Drink rather than food - needs to be in the correct glass. For example Prosecco in a wine glass doesn’t taste as good!

Prosecco in a bucket is better than in a glass

Tea from a delicate bone china cup is far nicer than a thick cheap mug.

Squashed ham sandwiches on white bread I defo agree with! And triangle sandwiches. My partner put banana in my cereal and broke it up (what’s the matter with him lol). It definitely needed to be sliced!

Ah, now there we'd have to disagree, I'm afraid. I absolutely cannot bear the slipperiness of the sliced banana.

Chocolate when it’s thin and crisp, in other words, Easter eggs.

Also, macaroni because occasionally you get a delicious squeak from air trapped in it.

Hard to drink from a bucket, though!

Sandwiches are better cut into small triangles

I was just going to say this!

If they are something you would have for an afternoon tea I agree, but chip butties, bacon and sausage have to be rectangles.

Soft boiled egg tastes better if you have toast soldiers with it.
