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

Everyday - triangles. If I’m going fancy then a standard two slices of bread sandwich will be cut into three fingers.

Now I’m aware I can do so, it will be vertical for me from now on.

I cut them on the wonk, so rhomboid I guess.

For afternoon tea i cut the crust off and cut into three fingers. Definitely taste better that way.

...but diagonally you get:

• top crust, side crust
• bottom crust, side crust

🤔

Why does there have to be a correct way? You do you and others can do their way. Makes no difference and not worth expending mental energy over.

I cut the crusts off.

Triangles are best but for some reason I always cut my children's sandwiches into rectangles. I don't know, triangles just feel too grown up 😄

Yet again, another thread lost on people

Do you never have debates and discussion about small minor things just in a lighthearted way? Its onerous to have to explain things like this

And then the fighting started 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don't complicate matters! This conundrum is difficult enough as it is...

I was brought up to regard triangular-cut sandwiches as fancy-schmancy!

I'd do it like that for a party but not for my lunch.

I wonder why you expended any energy, mental or otherwise, in bothering to comment then.

I prefer triangles now but have strong memories of being deeply suspicious or triangle sandwiches as a child and requesting rectangles from my Mum.

Triangular sandwiches are too... pointy.

I'm embarrassed to ask this but how do you cut a sandwich vertically?

I agree, it's really irritating when people respond to these threads in this way.

People are clearly being light-hearted and enjoying themselves and yet they had to come on here and "expend mental energy" with their miserable comment.

But for what it's worth.... 😁

Scone or Scone
To rhyme with gone. Because if it doesn't, you can't do the brilliant joke "What's the fastest cake in the world... S'GONE!"

Jam or cream first
Sigh, jam OF COURSE. Not only is it heavier, but cream has always been a topping. The "But cream is a fat, it replaces the butter" it's SUCH a weak argument. Butter is butter, cream is cream and, as previously mentioned, cream is a topping.

Tea or milk in the cup first
Milk if the tea is made with a teapot, tea if it's made in the cup. This is the law.

Does mayonnaise have any place in a cheese sandwich (certainly not)
A cheese sandwich does not have any place without mayonnaise! and a lot of cafes need to understand this. They use mainly grated cheese (understandable for catering establishments) and all the cheese falls out without something like mayonnaise to hold it together. Plus a cheese sandwich is just to dry without it.

Brown or red sauce on a bacon sandwich?
I'm vegetarian so I don't care, have what you like. I don't like either on anything though, so I imagine if I was a meat eater (never have been) I'd have neither.

So consider yourself educated 😄

The point of the thread is a light hearted discussion about those different opinions (on whatever it may be). Is that truly hard for you to deduce?

Squares for packed lunch and triangles on a plate. 2 triangles sticking up, with 2 lying down abutted, holding them up.

Edit: to say NEVER cut into 2.

FIL cuts into long narrow ‘railway sleepers’
Ive no idea why.

Rectangular. I dislike in the shop bought triangular cut sandwiches that you get bigger dry boring corners, at either end, with no filling in them.

Right you - outside!
