How do you slice your sandwich?
Diagonal? Down the middle? Halves or quarters?
Me, I don't give a shit, especially if someone else has made it for me. If I make it, I just cut it down the middle because it tastes the same no matter what and takes less focus than trying to get a line from corner to corner. Heck, it's going to be ingested within five minutes, anyway.
Believe it or not, there are some really uptight folks on this issue. I ain't one of 'em.
Diagonal. Easier to cut from point to point.
No way. How do you achieve accuracy?
Grilled cheese gets cut into triangles for maximum dippage in my tomato soup. Everything else either gets cut into rectangles or left alone. My mouth is big enough that eating a regular sandwich is not a problem.
The easiest way is to line a cookery book from one corner to the other.
This also serves to flatten the breadwrapper into a more manageable size.

I don't cut my sandwiches. What's the point?
Poor sarahfeena. Trapped in an existence where cut sandwiches have no meaning.
Honestly, I think it's something about little kids and small mouths. I dunno. I never cared if my sandwich was cut. I just wanted to eat it.
If you haven't cut toasted bread into little "soldiers" to dip into the yolk of your boiled egg, you haven't lived!

I like to cut sandwiches into sizes that are easily manageable with one hand. With regular sandwich bread, that means on the diagonal for me.
Yes, if you don't slice them, sometimes trying to keep all the contents within can be problematic... manageable portions is defo the way to go.

Buttery toast, cut into triangles of course, dipped into the yolks of a couple of eggs fried over-easy.
Maybe dip a little crispy bacon in there too.
Some hot coffee and a glass of milk and it's breakfast time.
I know. My life is hell.
Actually, I do cut the ones I make for the kids, if they want me to. I always ask them if they want it whole, cut into rectangles, big triangles, or little triangles. Keeps their little lives exciting.Honestly, I think it's something about little kids and small mouths. I dunno. I never cared if my sandwich was cut. I just wanted to eat it.
I slice my sandwich with a knife formed from my own arrogance.
I heard SWB does it with a precisely delivered karate chop.
Diagonally, I imagine.

I don't usually cut sandwiches unless it's something I might not finish, in which case diagonal is the way to go.
If I'm making a sandwich for myself I don't bother slicing it. I like triangle sandwiches but they always remind me of death because they're a staple of wakes and funeral meals here.
