QOTD Mon Jan 9th - How Do You Cut Your Sandwich?

Attachment 324928

Since he just gave me toast cut across the middle instead of diagonally, I thought it was time to bring back Question of the Day and make this my first question.

How do you cut sandwiches/toast?

Attachment 324929

I cut mine diagonally but got a "equator" cut today which is just wrong LOL
Do you cut the crusts off? Use sandwich/cookie cutters to make them cute shapes?

What is your fave or go-to sandwich
(I realize we are all probably eating ham and swiss this week thanks to the No Frills sale)

Lol.....didn't know it had a name, so it's "girl's best friend" for me...:)

can I be the odd ball who doesn't do any of those cuts?

I cut mine along the red line shown here:

Always keep the crust! It adds that extra bit of texture to the sandwich.
Plus you can't have that "best bite (an interior soft bread only bite)" without a crust bite in there now and then!

I like sandwiches in general, but I'll never turn down an old faithful BLT :)

I've only ever heard that one called triangles cut, or sailboat.

For me, totally depends upon what type of bread, what type of sandwich filling it is.

I couldn't find a pic, and can't draw it here, but I generally cut a sandwich into three. First cut goes from the top left corner to just below the indentation on the right, then second cut from the corner of the bottom left to the center.
Works well for sandwiches with meat, lettuce, and tomato - kind of the same idea of cutting a clubhouse in quarters, so you get max filling.

Otherwise, I do triangles or equator cut.

I call all of those cuts "in half" lol

Natalka, a lot of diners back in the day cut sandwiches like this!!
different cuts for different sandwiches, but mostly girls best friend cuts, but club houses are always into 4 triangles. Didn't know named sandwich cuts were a thing!!!

Oh rueben sandwiches, love em!! Costco sells the Dunn's corned beef in the vacu seal packs you boil, lots of sauerkraut and Swiss on pumpernickel is so good!!

welllll. hmmm. I think I cut mine in half, unless I am trying to be fancy, then it is triangle cut. DH likes his sammies uncut, he says less of the fillings fall out that way??

^ Same here with husband, he doesn't cut sandwiches - and his are usually three or four layers of bread with meat and cheese in between.

I don't eat bread so the point is moot :) I quit bread last year and don't miss it at all. I do, however, miss the holder for the delicious fillings.

^ Wow, I'm in awe, Jays! I try do whole grain, but can't see cutting it out altogether.

mirror or GF

My mother always did the equator cut and I always found that the bottom crust was not nearly as good as the top crust so it was like having a good sandwich when you ate the top half and then the not as good sandwich when you got to the bottom half. Not sure why but the mirror cut seems to take that away

A bit off of topic but if we are having soft boiled eggs in egg cups it is a lot easier to dip the toast into the egg yolk if you cut the toast into long thin strips about the size of the opening
