To think the correct way to cut a sandwich is diagonally?

[BlossomBlanket]

That's all - silly question really. But am I being unreasonable to think sandwiches are nicer when they're cut diagonally?

YABU: Rectangles are superior
YANBU: Of course triangles are better

Cut them any way you fancy.

my dm always does them square
dh introduced me to triangles

No, sometimes they taste better rectangular

Totally depends what you’re having in them.

You get more sandwich if you cut diagonally. That's just science.

Depends on the filling. Cheese, chicken etc triangles, tuna (or crisp) rectangles.

Yes better top / bottom crust ratio when cut diagonally. If horizontal you get one half with all of the dry bottom crust.

Cut 'em vertically then!

Only one crust corner per sandwich when in triangles, therefore triangles are better.

exactly, triangles have less crust, or they seem to!

Rectangles are more ‘earthy’ and have their place. if I was making a bacon sandwich I would never cut diagonally. Would kill the whole vibe.

And the chips fall out of your chip butty if you cut it the wrong way.

Surely a chip butty calls for the fold method? 😁

Most people don’t fill a sandwich evenly so a triangle has four corners of empty bread. Plus I like crusts the best. YABU.

Depends on when you're eating them.
Before midday - rectangles
After midday - triangles.

Neither are 'better'. A rectangle isn't better or worse than a triangle. They are just different. Mind you, a circular sandwich would just be silly, so I guess a circle could be called worse.

Everyone knows triangle sandwiches are posh.

Sandwiches: triangles
Cheese on toast: rectangles

How many triangles have four corners?

It does? I can't imagine what fillings would make rectangles better, do you have any examples?

I am embarrassed to say that it has never occurred to me that I can do this! Honestly!

Not so simple. There's a reason I'm asking.

Diagonal is the best
Tastes better

No cutting if you use rolls

My dad always said diagonal was pretentious so he didn’t allow it.

I cut them diagonal if eating at home and rectangle if wrapping for a packed lunch.
