[Closed] Sandwiches and toast, Triangles or rectangles??

Sandwiches - rectangles
Toast- uncut

Triangular toast is for toffs.

Triangular = holidays only 🙂

IHN is entirely correct. Theres only one thing triangular that should be involved in the making of toast

Cut diagonal for me, horizontal for the OH. Otherwise, holy wars.

Oh, and I cut sandwiches horizontally, otherwise stuff falls out of the floppy corners.

Mmmm toast

With rectangles you can have the bottom of the loaf or the top, or both.

With triangles, you can only have the top or the bottom.

With regular quarters, you have no choice, it's either soft or crusty, you can't have both.

Diagonal quarters mean you can ignore the top/bottom dilemma and just eat the sides.

Rectangular always for everything - primarily I can't stand the diagonal cut on a sandwich, always leads to filling loss particularly on salad componentry.
Square cut toast is superior for mopping bean juice post fry up and builds a better bacon +x butty at the start of aforementioned breakfast.

Toast triangles
Sandwiches triangles, except for Fish Finger sandwiches, or packed lunch sandwiches which will need to travel which are rectangles

Rectangles for the boys, triangles for the girls ....in our house.

You were bang on OP. Rectangular sandwiches and triangular toast.

Triangles.
Only get one full corner that way instead of two of the things.
Not a big fan of the corner bit, dry and chewy.

But rectangles provides an alternative hand position?

Cutting ? Sounds like a time waste to me.

Both uncut. It's food, not art, just bloody eat it.

Rectangles. Triangles are for ponces and southerners.

Rectangles. It's more efficient as it takes less time and the knife stays sharper for longer.

I'd say it depends on the filling. Loose filling is rectagonal, sticky filling is triangular. But not sure why....

triangles. perfect for dunking in soup, vimto, hoarded mcdonalds curry sauce packets etc.

But you get two half corners which have presumably been cut from one of the other soggy corners.

You're arguing the toss about corners. Have a word with yourselves!
If it's that bad you're eating really crap bread or the filling is lacklustre

If you tried to cut this into triangles it'd headbutt you....

My Mum calls triangles 'party sandwiches'.

For me, triangles if eating at home, rectangles for a pack-up.

Toast? Triangles every time.

You do, but half a corner's a bit easier to stomach than a full corner

Half as easy?

Think of the other corner as a butter plinth, if it helps.

Pffft! Soft, southern bread. 😉

It's actually impossible to cut a Mothers Pride Plain outsider into any sort of triangle.

Triangles = "Sunday Cut" Sandwiches or Toast.

I go crazy with my sandwiches and cut across from the two long sides at an angle.

Now that looks like bread that is made specifically to contain chips, and be then used to mop up chippy gravy

I'm bloody starving now, and I want a chip butty 😥

Nah, it was produced in conjunction with the makers of square lorne sausage in order to produce the perfect breakfast of champions...... "A piece an' square sausage"*

* Broon or Rid sauce optional.

Now, you see.... thats intelligent use of design if ever I saw it. Inspired!

I had a Lorne sausage sandwich for £1 at one of the campsites in Peebles, even through the fog and desperation of a monumental hangover it was quite the most revolting "meat" thing I have ever eaten.

That's beautiful.
Minimalist even.

Anything else along the same lines you're keeping quiet about?

Munchy boxes......but I can't tell you about it or Binners might have some sort of seizure.

I've never even considered cutting either into triangles, how very common!!

Rectangles. It's more efficient as it takes less time and the knife stays sharper for longer.

Curse you, I now can't un-realise that!

Have you tried Roberts Mega Thick White Bread, 11 slices to a loaf!! Struggle to get it in the toaster but makes a hell of a sausage and cheese buttie 😀

If you ever contemplate cutting a sandwich or toast of mine in any way other than straight across the narrowest part then I will personally escort you to hell and ask Lucifer for his sharp pointy thing.
He won't be getting it back though......

Ciabatta no cutting required just insert bacon and Stilton consumed in one hand

Warburtons should always be folded, never ever cut, proper butties are always single slice foldies, another fact, everyone who works for warburtons is related !

Triangles are for people who are unable to or lack the confidence to estimate halfway. They use the corners as a fool-proof guide for half the surface area.
For those of us who aren't ham-fisted dimwits, lacking mathematical judgement, it's rectangles every time.
🙂

Triangles are for ponces and southerners

You say that like they're two different things

Sometimes as an indulgence I will cut my toast into a triangle . It makes me feel posh.
Sad ,I know. Thing is, it's a rare treat because in London we only have artisan bread ,the shape of which varies . 😉

Triangles are only for pre-cut toast slices in the B+B
Won't even get pre-made triangular sarnies unless I have to
Rectangles always - toast whole slice or cut in 2 rectangles, or sarnie might be one slice folded over (then another slice, of course).

No cut at all here for either. That's wasting valuable eating time.

Coming from the man(?) with the dualit toaster who likes bread so thin he has to get someone else to slice it for him?

You're obviously an authority on the subject. 😛

😀

who eats the rest of the sandwich esme.....

also . curse you mothers pride poster....

i cycled to the village this afternoon in search of some plain bread.

no dice.

Will have to go up the smoke and see if any of the big shops have it.

doesnt seem fashionable any more.... once upon a time i could consume a loaf of that in a day with jam.

Ffs southerners are not triangle cutters.

How in our green, pleasant and sun drenched part of the country where artisan hand kneaded rolls and delicately caressed and individually crafted loaves are the most basic of bready comestibles could we possibly cut such beautiful forms into mere triangles.

You northerners are completely lacking in an appreciation of the finer points of optimised bread shape subdivision.

Mwah, ha ,ha

As an experiment I cut my toast in half this morning.

Did not make the bread come alive

You need a slightly bigger slice

Turned my squares into rectangles

Toast shouldn't be cut at all.
Sandwiches should be cut in half along their short axis.

Why would you cut a sandwich? Do you work for British Rail? Are you trying to convince me you've been more generous with the filling than you have?
