Do you cut your own sandwich?

No. My staff cut mine.

If it’s on bread, yes, generally diagonally. If it’s on a roll or bun, no.

I do cut my own sandwich, usually. Sometime I leave it whole, but when I do cut it I cut it in half diagonally. It’s easier to bite the corners off and then move across the top. By the time you’re done with the top of the triangle there isn’t much left of the bottom of the triangle, which is easier to eat. Ta da!

Usually dont cut it I just eat it in its full version.

Gail’s staff cuts mine, too.
Seriously, I cut all sandwiches in half diagnolly.

@chyna: So that’s where they’ve been?

Me, too, in half diagonally. Except for a bacon sandwich or a peanutbutter sandwich, I leave whole. Hmm..I’ve never thought of that before. Wonder why I do that?

I do not cut my sandwiches unless they are hoagie type rolls, then I cut them in half. I am an equal opportunity non-cutter – I don’t cut my kids’ sandwiches either.

Diagonal tastes better.

Probably, but you may be biased.

Why destroy the purity of the whole sandwich by severing it?

Really. Why are we answering this question?

If my sandwich is being packed for my lunch at work, I leave it whole. Otherwise it tends to fall apart in the bag.

At home, I cut grilled cheese sandwiches in half diagonally. They’re easier to dunk in tomato soup that way. Other sandwiches get cut in half horizontally.

Yea if its a grilled cheese I might cut it diagnally.

I cut into a size that can be handled by my left hand, so my right hand will be free to work the mouse and keyboard without getting messy.

I cut every sandwich (even hamburgers!), usually just in half. If it’s grilled cheese, it must be cut on the diagonal. For Monte Cristo sandwiches, I cut them into four triangles. I have no idea why this matters to me.

I gently trim the crusts off and even up the edges so that it makes a perfect square.
Then I pull out my special sandwich knife and divide it into 4 triangle points.

Then I take those 4 triangle points and I put a fancy toothpick through each of them.
But the whole effect is ruined if I forget to eat the sandwich with my pinkie finger pointed at the ceiling.

HOW can you eat a sandwich whole? You have to hold it more carefully or stuff falls out. If you cut it, you can even gesture wildly while holding the sandwich and it’ll be fine! ;)

Diagonal totally makes the sandwich look bigger. And it does taste better. Lurve to Kevbo.

@fireside LOL…do you also cater?

I cut my sandwich, and my SO cuts the cheese.

@jbfletcherfan – only for your parties Jessica, oops I mean Mrs. Fletcher.

@scamp – lol

@scamp: Makes you sort of not want to eat that sandwich in the same vicinity, eh?

Yeah, it doesn’t help the appetite much, that’s for sure, ha ha!

@fireside Oh, no, Jessica is fine. If you’re going to be cutting things in my kitchen, we have to be on a first name basis.

I do cut my own sandwiches, but I wish I didn’t. Well, today, I didn’t. I got this ham and cheese sandwich. It was built on an italian long roll, that, when you bit into it, was the perfect crusty bread. The ham was piled an inch and a half thick, and then they put in peels of aged provolone. The guy who made it cut it for me.

Cannoli for dessert! Mmmmm. ‘Course, the cannoli weren’t cut. That would be scriligious!

And now I am hungry.

With my friends brontosaurus shaped sandwich cutter.

Anyone for a feather? Oops. Wrong thread. ;-)

i like my grilled cheese cut in 4s. i don’t eat the crust usually, but i like it to be there, just in case.

I make circular sandwiches. I cut them in sectors of 1 radian each. I discard the irrational remainder. It’s a diet, you see.

@gailcalled, very clever.

From you, Kevbo, that is a true compliment.

Wuz gonna say, “I don’t cut my sandwiches, but I do cut the cheese” but scamp got there first!

I don’t cut my sandwiches now, but when I was small, I’d get the cookie cutters and cut sandwiches into shapes.

I have to make my own sandwiches, to start off. And I usually do not cut it, but I do not mind. I just hate when the bread gets soggy.

@Divalicious You and I have the exact same sandwich-cutting technique! Grilled cheese is much more dunkable when cut diagonally, but less sticky fillings tend to fall out of the little pointy ends, so horizontally is better for them… Finally, someone who understands! :)

PBJ no cut
grilled cheese: diagonal
all others: in half

@sdeutsch We should do lunch. I’ll bring some sandwiches!

@Divalicious You bring the sandwiches, I’ll bring the tomato soup!

MY SANDWICH!!!!
Steals mcbealer’s sandwich

@90s_kid ~ ha ha one half for you one half for me

Noooooo way Josè, kiddo.

I never cut my own sandwiches. But I prefer all sandwiches to be cut into triangles except for PB&J which is cut into four squares.

I usually cut them diagonally.
Kind of nice to see all the stuff inside. Enticing.

But sometimes I like to cut them into
square quarters and pretend I am a giant.

@Nimis
How old are you?

@90s: rude.

@90s_kid [in a menacing voice] I will EAT you, little boy!

Erm…never too old to pretend to be a giant.

lol

Sorry, I am too curious. “I pretend I am a giant”
Kinda wondering if you were a 5 year old.

@90s: I am positive that at one point, yes, Nimis was a 5 year old.

kid, I would think she would have to have been 5 since you have to be 13 in order to register for a Fluther account.

To follow up on what @fireside said. Are you sure that you are at least 13? The quality of your posts say otherwise.

Holy shit. The FBI is monitoring threads about sandwich-cutting?

@Nimis – Yeah, the CIA can’t be bothered with such small potatoes (or potato chips, since we’re talking sandwiches here)

I like my sandwiches with potato salad

I like mine with a pickle on the side

bread and butter chips… mmmmmmmm give me a jar and a fork.

@FBI
I am fourteen!
I was kidding about the five year old thing. How dare you say I am under thirteen.
How many Jellies try to crack me? How many?
