To send my sandwich back to be cut up?

Just phoned my husband from the bedroom (struggling with 4 month sleep regression baby) and asked him to make me a sandwich. Tomato puree with ham. Yum yum. Brings it up. . . Whole!!

I made him go back and cut it in half. AIBU or should I have been grateful to get it in the first place?

I can't eat a sandwich that's not cut at least in half. Even barmcakes (bap, muffin, insert colloquial name for bread roll here). I cut burgers in half!

I also can't get past tomato purée

You big fucking weirdo Wink

Do you mean tomato puree or tomato ketchup missknows ?

Because if you are squirting tomato puree into your mouth you are beyond help. Tomato ketchup is not quite so bad.

Tomato diarrhoea sandwich?

MrsChickPea · 24/05/2014 21:44

FREEKY EATERS.... A lady on there ate SO MUCH TARTAR SAUCE. Don't go the same way. Normal people do not squirt tomato puree in their gob. Have a little look at Channel 5 On Demand. You need to stop this now.

I'm more intrigued know know if it is 'cut up' or 'cutted up'

The latter just sounds wrong.

Bettercallsaul1 · 24/05/2014 21:46

This thread has raised so many interesting problems!

MrsChickPea · 24/05/2014 21:47

There is no such phrase as 'cutted up' in any context! It is always cut up!

Bettercallsaul1 · 24/05/2014 21:48

I think we could be getting into text and texted territory....

missknows · 24/05/2014 21:48

Tomato puree :-)
Tomato sauce is nasty.

And it's cut unless you are talking about pears!

My dd is 7 weeks old now and since I'm breastfeeding most of my meals have either been pre cut up for me or served in a bowl with a spoon. A sandwich would definitely need to be cut up. Even my ds (21 months) was feeding me biscuits earlier :)

Thanks mrscp, I thought so. Now I can worry about more pressing issues, like squirting tomato purée straight into your mouth- yuk

MrsChickPea · 24/05/2014 21:49

Is texted a word?!!!! GONE! (not really, but surely texted is not a word - sounds SO wrong).

TheSpottedZebra · 24/05/2014 21:50

I bloody LOVE tomato puree.
In a cheese toastie - so good.

Bearbehind · 24/05/2014 21:51

and it's cut unless you are talking about pears!

Why- what's different with pears?

So it was two slices of bread with a revolting filling?

A sandwich is supposed to be easy to hold, isn't it & therefore needs cutting?

Possibly not if the bread is toasted.

Is an English sandwich when it's cut into 4 & crustless?

Specify that next time to avoid any laziness confusion.

My ex never used to cut up sandwiches either, used to drive me mad!
Gosh, I really don't miss him!

missknows · 24/05/2014 21:52

Have any of you people who are saying tomato puree is nasty even tried it? Go and try it and then come back and comment. It's delicious.

Texted and cutted both sound wrong.

missknows · 24/05/2014 21:53

Pears. Cutted up pear. Long story.

OP posts:
missknows · 24/05/2014 21:53

That's because they are both wrong!

I am another one stuck at tomato puree and ham in a sandwich.

Nope. Can't move on from that really.

WandaDoff · 24/05/2014 21:53

On MN it is 'cutted up' , because of the cutted up pear thread in classics.

Tomato puree in a sandwich is all kinds of wrong IMO

Janethegirl · 24/05/2014 21:54

Pinot Grigio is the answer, though not in a sandwich Grin

Bettercallsaul1 · 24/05/2014 21:55

Past tense of "text", MrsChickPea - don't tell me you''ve missed all the, um, lively debates on MN on this vital issue?
