Subject: Sandwich cut: diagonally, horizontally, vertically

Written By: Katluver on 05/11/14 at 4:54 pm

Pick one.

Subject: Re: Sandwich cut: diagonally, horizontally, vertically

Written By: snozberries on 05/11/14 at 5:05 pm



I picked other because....

A) mostly I don't like sandwiches... when I eat a sandwich 90something percent of the time it's Tuna.....  if I eat a meat sandwich it's usually ham (with mayo or butter...nothing else on the sandwich but ham and mayo or butter) .... 


B) when I eat a tuna sandwich or a ham sandwich I don't generally cut them... in fact...the only time I have a sandwich that is cut is if it's been cut for me....


C) if the sandwich has already been cut for me I prefer it be cut diagonally



D) I do eat tri tip sandwiches.....they are normally on a french roll or baguette .....these are not generally cut in the various manners mentioned above so it doesn't count!!!

I chose "Don't like it cut." I don't cut my sandwiches at all, that is sandwiches on bread. In fact, one of my
idiosyncrasies is that I smash my sandwich flat. I get laughed at for it too, people say "Live, damn you ,live."
like I am giving the sandwich CPR but hey, I like the sandwich flat , what can I say?

Now if it is a hoagie or a cheese steak I will cut in half but that is it.

Oh, on a final note; flatbreads and wraps are out. I prefer not to eat them at all.

I pick diagonally.
I guess "cut in fours" would be my second choice.

I love wraps!

I voted "who cares", coz it doesn't matter to me. As long as it looks like a sandwich.

I know, weird huh? Flatbread just doesn't taste the same. Or maybe it's because they robbed me the opportunity 
to smash that sucker myself.

I don't mind the wrap part but it better be wrapped around some beef and beans with a little rice, other than
that it is not for me.

I picked in fours.  I usually don't cut them, but if I am feeling particularly nostalgic and missing my grandma, I have to cut them.  That's how she used to do it for me.  And then it has to be egg salad.

totally agree!!! 

I miss wonder!  It still cannot be found in these parts!  Although we do have dingdongs back! 

Super disappointed still!

Oh and I cut diagonal!  Especially since I prefer "sandwhich" bread vrs.  The round type.  If I have the round typ variety to keep uniform I cut in half down the center.

I like my sandwiches cut on the diagonal.  It's been the way that I've been eating my sandwiches for as far back as I can remember.  :)

I actually do the four way diagonal, little triangles are so much more tasty.

This is the first I ever heard ..potato chips on tuna. Sounds like it might actually taste good. I'll probably try it.

Eating potato chips/crisps in sandwiches, with ham, chicken or cheese, has been popular for a long while in the UK. I can distinctly remember eating my sandwiches that way on school trips in the 1970s.

Plain potato chips are also great on peanut butter.

Any way other than diagonally. That's how I prefer to personally make the cut.

However, if some place wants to cut 'em diagonally or whatever way, that's fine... but I prefer to cut it my own way.

I too do not care how my sandwich is cut, just as long as it is edible.  I do like dipping my sandwiches in Chef Boyardee.  I know it sounds gross, but so delicious!

I don't usually cut my sandwiches.  Although the other day, I went to TGIFriday's, and ordered a hamburger.  It was HUGE.  So I kinda just started cutting little pieces off of it like little bars of burger, just to make it easier to eat.  That burger was a lot of work, but it was yummy so it was worth it.

sometimes at parties they're usually cut into tiny squares for bite size.

Diagonally.  My mother always cut them vertically.  That's boring.  A triangular shape is more fun than a rectangular shape, wouldn't you say?

today I had breakfast out and my toast was cut vertically.... I found it oddly off putting as this particular restaurant usually cuts it diagonally.

If I made my own sandwiches with wholemeal bread, I'd cut it vertically because I get the nicest bit of darkened crust on both halves.

If I buy ready-made sandwiches from shops, that's when I normally eat them if they are cut diagonally.

I like to cut them horizontally cause it makes it easier to eat.
