Triangle or square

[CreakingKnees]

If you are making a sandwich with bread rather than a roll, do you tend to cut it in half triangular or square?
I tend to cut it into triangles, my DH cuts it square.
So after just finishing a sandwich i made ( triangle ) it just set me wondering about other people's preferences.
So you lovely lot, triangle or square?

I don't understand the question....?

I take two slices of bread, put what ever I want in my sandwich on one slice and then out the other slice on top....?

Or are you taking about finger sandwiches?

Triangles all the way nicer to eat and u can bite a triangular edge iyswim?

It’s paste!. I think I’m the only person in the UK who still likes it but it’s great on sliced white and filled with salt and vinegar crisps as well.

@ElizaPancakes nope as I love it too!

Triangles, definitely. Seems less crust that way!

It’s the corners of crust I don’t like, so triangles all the way in this house!

@DoneLikeAKipper you get a for petty acts or revenge. I love it and am goingto start doing the same.

my dh told me years ago to do triangles.
my dd prefers squares
i think i prefer triangles

my dm does square sandwiches

Squares. More practical (fits easier into a box, stuff doesn't fall out). Triangles look nicer though.

Triangles. I think it improves the crust to filling ratio for each half.

Triangles, and then there is an order to eat it in. Crust off one corner, crust off the other, the rest of the crust then the sandwich that's left - corner, corner, last bit.

Triangles.
I remember mum asking me whether I wanted triangles or squares when I was about 6, I (jokingly) said circles, so she used a biscuit cutter and presented me with four cheese and pickle circles. I remember thinking she was the best mum in the world!

That’s a terrible way to eat a sandwich, Eliza!

All that boring crustiness first? I want instant sandwich gratification, thanks, and will head straight to the filled middle part first!

Definitely triangles. You get more crust-less edge for biting. My DH says square sandwiches are for people that hate themselves.

@TheFreaksShallInheritTheEarth It saves the best bit to eat without grotty crusts. I do the same with toast. at the crusts quick then eat the hot buttery middle bit.

I like shippams crab paste @ElizaPancake. Only on toast though, never in a sandwich. There's no point, the filling is too little. It's ok on a slice of bread & butter though.

*Eat the crusts quick

Ha Ha Ha!!! Squares fit into a box easier than triangles?

It depends what's in the sandwich. If it's egg salad cream mayo then triangles. Anything is is rectangles. Those r the rules. The only rules.

Takes. Had rectangles as a kid as my mum thought triangles were common

Rectangles for everyday sandwiches.
Squares when the DCs were little (so four mini sandwiches rather than 2 larger ones)
Triangles for party teas or posh events (four per sandwich rather than 2 big ones like you buy).

Squares always, I feel it looks more aesthetically pleasing that way

Usually rectangles but I really like little triangles, so quarters with the crust just along the back, but these are only deemed acceptable in certain circumstances eg sandwich platter or for children. My gran always made sandwiches like this for me and I loved visiting my grandparents as a child so maybe that's why

I don't know what you would call it @Maimainomai I didn't even know that sandwiches had names, well beyond the filling type, such as cheese sandwich etc.
But yes, when you make a sandwich in the way that you do, but then cut it in half or even quarters if its for the vicar or similar
Obviously a 6foot 10 barn door of a man might look at you in some confusion at being presented with a plate of dainty triangular cut sandwiches as opposed to a door step uncut one containing half a cow or similar.

(Disclaimer. Some women also like the above cowboy sandwich too )

I don't cut it in half at all!
