Pole to ploe is incorrect.

Around the equator is the One True Way.

Any deviation from this means you are a Sarnie Deviant.

Angry

Oh, triangles are acceptable. Mmmkay?

AIBU?

You can't go siccing on a food therad, Mards, that;s unbecoming. Shock

Obvis I prefer triangles - less crust - but if you have to give me a rectangular sarnie it has to be bisected through the equator, or I wll Hmm your arse.

And, no, I am not expalining, MardyBra, I am too humphy.

And, you, you were PROPERISED then.

I think Chaos has her uncut sandwich, first cuts north to south and then cuts east to west.
Or something like that?

FBmum · 26/04/2013 19:38

Is Chaos drunk?

MardyBra · 26/04/2013 19:38

^^

What everlong said.

Dawndonna · 26/04/2013 19:38

Poor Mardy, Chaos won't expaline her! Grin

mackerella · 26/04/2013 19:39

I assume the top of the loaf is the North Pole and the bottom is the South Pole. doinmummy cuts pole to pole and hazeyjane cuts along the equator.

Chaos. In your OP, you said around the equator, which suggests you go around the middle of the sandwich in a circular motion.

Mrsrobertduvall · 26/04/2013 19:40

Rectangles are common. (according to my mother)
It has to be triangles Grin

hazeyjane · 26/04/2013 19:40

I am a bit of an idiot tonight, I sort of forgot that there is a crust all the way round Blush.

However I meant the top crust, never cut through the top crust.

MardyBra · 26/04/2013 19:40

I am devastated Dawndonna

SoMuchToBits · 26/04/2013 19:40

FGS how hard can it be? Pole to pole obviously means North to South (i.e. top to bottom), round the equator means across the middle (so you get one top sandwich and one bottom sandwich. Crikey, even Norman knows that, and he is a useless plastic tweedle!

Btw, I think equator-wise for sandwiches, and I never cut the crusts off, you lose a lot of the sandwich! Shock

MardyBra · 26/04/2013 19:41

Btw Chaos 173 plays 93. Just saying. Wink

Dawndonna · 26/04/2013 19:41

I can imagine, Mardy what with it being a Friday, too!

hazeyjane · 26/04/2013 19:41

Yes, I would think my way (or The Right Way, as it should be called) would be round the equator.

MardyBra · 26/04/2013 19:42

But if the equator is the middle, it doesn't matter which way you cut - it could be vertical or horizontal and it would still cut the sandwich in half.

MardyBra · 26/04/2013 19:43

I think I'm finally getting it following SoMuch's explanation.

TheDoctrineOfSnatch · 26/04/2013 19:44

But the top crust is rounded, Mardy. So it is different.

SoMuchToBits · 26/04/2013 19:44

Yay! Grin

MardyBra · 26/04/2013 19:45

Well it depends what bread you're using Doctrine. Sometimes it's square - like the plastic bread DS loves. And the South Pole is never rounded.

MardyBra · 26/04/2013 19:45

Fuck knows why I'm arguing about this when it's Friday night and I haven't cracked into the gin yet.

SoMuchToBits · 26/04/2013 19:46

We get square bread (from a proper bakers though, but I always buy a square loaf (or tin I think it's supposed to be called... Confused)
