Help me solve this sausage debate

[HorizontalSausage]

Yes, this is pathetic.

If you had sausages in front of you like this and someone asked you to cut them horizontally would you choose the red line or the green line?

Green, because that’s correct to make them less chokey for children and flatter for sandwiches. Red would be “in half”. Horizontal makes no sense either way.

Final thought: why can’t the sausage hang out of the end of the bun?

This was my thinking but couldn’t work out how to explain my thoughts 🤣

If you said to me cut horizontally, (also vertically for that matter) I would slice down the middle, if you said cut in half then then I’d do just that, regardless of which way round the sausage is when I’m looking at it.

It's threads like this that make me envy married couples...

This works either way…

Green. But I often think differently to others, so feel free to ignore me!
I'd assume they liked a thinner sausage. But it's probably the red line so that you get double the amount, if that makes sense ... and they are pretty long.

Where they the exact sausages or a picture from the internet?
They look very nice.

Red feels wrong. But green also doesn't feel right. I wouldn't cut them, I'd stand and cry until it was properly explained 😂

If you wanted them to be shorter it would be the red line, if you wanted them to be thinner the green line. 'Horizontal ' doesn't really make sense.

Well 'horizontal' is quite a specific word to use in this situation. I'd have just said cut them in half for what you wanted.

If someone said 'cut them horizontally' I'd assume they wanted something a bit different, so probably the green line.

But yes this is a weird thing to actually argue about.

Green - only because I always cut sausages vertically, so probably would do that automatically befor I remembered that The Horizontal request was made for whatever, probably specific, reason.

If someone told me to cut a sausage longitudinally, I wouldn't have a clue. 😂

Depends what for but green probably.

Actual sausage! I didn’t realise there was one left. I know I didn’t cook it well. I don’t eat sausages.

Makes sense - less opportunity for sausages to fall out of a bun and roll across the floor. It's the way that burger vans do sausages for the breakfast crowds in the industrial estates I've worked in.

Green

I wouldn't accept the instruction without clarifying. Being asked to cut up sausages is pretty weird. Surely people cut them flat for sandwiches after they've cooked them?

He knew I wanted to put them in hot dog buns though. The buns were half the length.

How much did to say horizontally! Why didn't you simply say cut them in half so they fit in the buns?

Odd.

Also were the sausages raw or cooked?
Raw - odd request, oddly worded.
Cooked - open to interpretation, as in making sausage sandwich.

Green.

Green. Because:

1. I would expect you to ask me to cut them in half if you wanted me to cut them in the middle, like the red line. Or just say cut them up, because that is the normal way to cut sausages. Asking someone to cut them horizontally is such a weird request, I would expect that you wanted them cut in an unusual way.
2. Cutting them along the red line is along a vertical plane. I would assume you meant along the horizontal plane, like slicing a bun IYSWIM (although that's not what your green line shows, you would get the same shape if you cut along the horizontal plane).

I don’t know, I was busy cooking other food at the time and I just wanted him to cut the bloody sausages.

Not raw no, overdone. In parts at least.

Green.

I’d vote green line and am Team DH. Otherwise you should have just said ‘cut them in half’ but by saying ‘horizontally’ I think you’ve made it sound more complicated than it was and I’d have cut them length ways too.

Haha this is so funny.

I said red, DH says green. 🤷‍♀️

Green. Because you're looking at then from above. But an actual sausage itself lies flat. So you're looking at it from how you view the sausage. But your husband is looking at it from the point of view of the sausage
