to state there is a right and wrong way to cut a sandwich?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Pole to ploe is incorrect.

Around the equator is the One True Way.

Any deviation from this means you are a Sarnie Deviant.

Oh, triangles are acceptable. Mmmkay?

AIBU?

And I eat mine like breakaway mentioned upthread - crusts first, then the nice 'sandwich' part.

HOW is there less crust?!?
There is the same amount of crust on the original piece of bread?!?!

My Mum always cut out bread into rectangles, I carried on once old enough to make my own packed lunch and toast but I always envied the other children with their fancy, cool triangles. When older still I would buy sandwiches and admire those angles.

Then one day, in my late 20's , it occurred to me that I could cut them as I wished. Since then it's been triangles for me but there are some sandwiches where rectangle are best, it depends on the bread shape and filling. Sausages in fresh bread do not work in triangles! A very few, very special sandwiches demand no cutting at all. That thick, crunchy crust should not be defiled.

CouthySaysEat you are so tight about marmite and folding.

Uh oh we've attracted HQ's attention.

Look innocent!

Hi Olivia! Nice hols?

Oh yes Fillyjonk, I love to put them on their side to make them look pretty.
And you can to it with bacon sandwiches too.
Oh, and cut of the crusts, if I can't be bothered they only go to the dog anyway.

Who is OliviaM?

It's Me. M is one defcon status up from L, innit?

No Playmobil????? Norm looks like this -->

Oh, I'm now coveting the Secret Agent stuff, SoMuch, thanks to SconeIn.

Well, the crust thing OhEmEmEn (sigh) - imagine eating a rectangular sarniie? Yup? You diong that? Chances are if you're a crust leaver - you'll leave the corners. 4 of em.
Now imagine eating a triangular one. Only 2 corners to leave. Hah See? Less crust.

My Logical powers are indefatigable.

Hah.

Again.

OOh, Couthy, yup - we do them as weell - imperative for super noodles or chips - called WrapAroundSandwiches chez Chao.

Norm and I are PMSLing at your crust-leaving logic!

It;s true though huh?

Less crusts.

Fosho.

I'm now worried it's fewer.

It is fewer but I'm still more concerned about the around business.

Do you flip them halfway through like pancakes?

Omlette.

It's fewer (for something you can count, like crusts). It would be less for something non-countable (like sugar, milk, tea).

But you would say that loaf has less crust than that loaf.

Wouldn;t ya?

Huh?

Less crust (singular and an amount), fewer crusts (plural and countable)...

Yes but they still only have one crust each, so fewer wouldn't make sense - you can't count how much each one's got.

My omelettes aren't usually symmetrical enough to have equators.

anybody?

I do rectangles as I find bits are less likely to fall out, triangles are unstable if you have a salady type filling. It tastes the same whatever so i go for least mess and quickest to make.

Iknow da roolz you plastic tweedle.

I fecked up with this "It;s true though huh? Less crusts."

I'd been in the singular befroe then.

You plastic tweedle owner.

Don't you flip your omlettes Empress?

Yes, and I fold them but the edges don't normally line up as they normally would on a sandwich. And they tend to be vaguely ovalish.

Do you flip your sarnies, Chaos?
