AIBU toast and sandwich irritation

[spanglydangly]

This is lighthearted!

People that don't cut toast or sandwiches In half to eat them! Drives me mad.

Just saying.

I usually do, except when it's a banana and peanut butter sandwich. They have to be kept whole so you can eat round all the edges first and then have all the central squidginess last.

Another butter slicer here.

We also have a Breville sandwich toaster which does cut into triangles.

I would always cut a sandwich and toast - I just use the knife used to butter them. Our 'argument' is over which way to cut. DH has to have triangles and I cut across the middle. I watched a programme with Gordon Ramsey a few months ago and apparently diagonally means you are posh and across the middle is 'council estate'. I just think that was how all sandwiches were when I was growing up and not sure triangles had made it here then!

I quarter burgers. And sandwiches and toast. Basically I like to make everything into as many portions as possible so it looks like there's more of it.

I love food.

Diagonally, of course.

Im a savage

I can quite happily eat toast or sandwiches folded, cut, not cut, whichever way they turn out depends on the filling & also how quick im wanting to insert it into my face!!

I also take random bites as i am making said items

I dont eat bread very often so i turn into a bit of an animal on the rare occasions i have it!!!!

my DS FOLDS his toast

😲 Passes out. Bonk.

Toast folded and dunked in tea !!!

I am a fellow toast folderer.

You would hate me. I put the toppings of my choice on a single slice of bread and eat it with knife and fork, cutting it into bite sized pieces as I go.

If eating a single slice... uncut
Two or more slices.... cut

I thought everyone knew these rules.

I eat pizza with a knife and fork.

Toast uncut, sandwiches cut on the diagonal. Unless it's a 4 fish finger sandwich in which case it's cut across the middle so you get 4 bits of fish finger in each part.

People who put uncut toast on a big plate

Toast soldiers here.

Fishfinger AND sausage sandwiches have to be cut into oblongs.

I don't cut fried egg sandwiches. That would be daft.

Agree. Utter savagery. If you don't cut your sandwich in half you risk all the filling falling out as you struggle to support the unwieldy beast.

I rip my toast if it's just normal sliced bread... does noone else do that? Just pull pieces off the sides and eat them? If it's a strong crusty bread like proper sourdough I'll eat it as a whole piece though.

I had a family member who had a very specific way of eating (uncut) toast. It went as follows

1. Take a bit from each corner. This results in a sort of cross shape of remaining toast.

1. Proceed to eat each section of the cross one by one.

1. Roll the little middle bit that remained into a doughy ball and stuff into mouth.

I found it fascinating to yet horrific to watch.

I will always cut a sandwiches into 2 triangles for me, and 4 for my toddler but if it's a bread roll sandwich I wouldn't cut that.

If I'm in a rush and eating a quick slice of toast for breakfast while doing other things I will eat it whole. But if I'm sitting with a tea and peanut butter honey toast then I'll cut into triangles.

I cut sandwiches in half, but not toast!

Don’t cut myself because I haven’t got a good knife so would be more like hacking. I get around this by using thins for work sandwiches.

If cut should be triangles. Once seen someone cut into four squares - just wrong!

Depends what's on the toast
Jam on white 1/4s
Marmite on white or brown 1/2 or sometimes wholeon brown
Grated cheese triangles
Cheap ham 1/4 like old school picked lunch
Something with salad 1/2
It's all so complicated!

My gran cuts hers into 1/8s and we gasp

Bagels?
Crumpets
Muffins
Rolls
Baguettes
Penini

I also don't eat much bread so when I do, I make it count...

One slice toast - slices of butter, bread unsliced
Or sometimes cut into 4 squares.

Cheese on toast, 4 squares for dipping into ketchup/Worcester sauce combo

Welsh rarebit - eaten with salad and knife and fork

One slice sandwich, folded so all filling remains in

Two slice sandwich - mostly just when grabbing one out and about so 2 triangles as per dictated by Pret

Chip butties - one slice bread, slices of butter, as many chippy chips as can be crammed in, drowned in salt and pepper. All squidged up.

Toasted sandwiches - 2 or 4 triangles.

Love the "and that's what's wrong with being working class" just perfect.

Parent are working class, before I get jumped on.

I watched a programme with Gordon Ramsey a few months ago and apparently diagonally means you are posh and across the middle is 'council estate'. I just think that was how all sandwiches were when I was growing up and not sure triangles had made it here then!

There was a Christmas episode of the royal family where Denise was hosting her parents and in-laws for Christmas dinner. There were gasps of admiration when she offered them a slice of bread (unbuttered white sliced) to go with their "carrot surprise" (or whatever it was) because she gave them a choice of having it cut into triangles or rectangles . . .

Dave's dad asked if he could have one triangle and one rectangle, but unfortunately she had to turn down this outrageous request, as it was too complicated.
