Sandwiches - Squares or Triangles?

August 9, 2009 7:18am CST
When you have a sandwich how do you prefer to cut it? Do you cut it into squares or triangles? Halfs or quarters? For some reason i always find a sandwich tastes better when i cut it into triangles, when i was a child it would be cut into triangle quarters for me and i still do that now as an adult occaisionally.

Hello, polo_princess! Well, I prefer to eat sandwiches of any shape. For me, it depends on what is inside the sandwich, I like to eat any of them: tuna, egg, ham, cheese and any kinds of sandwiches. When preparing sandwiches, I just let its shape without cutting into halves or any form to save time in preparing it. Have a nice day!

You are right, the filling is important. I also put it on fresh bread but sometimes, I prefer to toast the bread to make it warm when eating.

I know. I like my sandwiches better cut into triangles too. For some reason, it looks better and I feel it tastes better.

Its strange isnt it how just the shape of a sandwich can seem to make it taste different, its clearly all in the mind but hey, if it tastes good then who cares, i'll keep on believing it

Sandwiches looks good if having triangular shape but I prefer sandwich of any shape but must have a good taste of cheese and salads or sometimes some experimental tastes also

Triangular shape with bit of mischief is the best, experimental taste with white fomeiii cheese as the only top-ups will be the best Sandwiches to be licked on and on and on........

Hi. I prefer to have my sandwich cut but not quite for the sake of making it taste better. I just don't want it to touch the sides of my mouth when I bite into it - really don't like wiping food off my face, tbh.

I love sandwiches in any shapes and sizes. However, when I prepare them myself especially for birthday parties or some functions, I prefer to cut them into quarters. Know why? Because they look cute, easy to arrange and most importantly, they look plenty.

I prefer to cut it into triangle,,but of course the taste is the most important I've ever read it in internet (I forget the site) that sandwich taste better if it cuts into triangle, because it's smaller and thus easier for us to eat it.. I still confuse too about this statement but I think it's okay^^,, if we cut it into triangle it's really smaller..

When you cut them into triangle quarters they seem t take longer to eat too, maybe thats why it seems better

The shape and size don't matter to me. It's just the same sandwich anyway. Though it would be more presentable if it's cut into triangle quarters.

I prefer it triangle. If the square is in small pieces, then it is alright too. I guess it just fits the mouth better. When it is uncut, it takes a bit more effort to eat.

Whenever I have sandwhiches I cut them in shapes of triangles. It's easy to eat sandwiches from triangles compared to sandwiches. Let me also add that you got a good question here! Happy mylotting!

My mom would always cut my sandwiches in triangles. I still eat triangle shaped sandwiches. I make them this way for my son too.

I usually just leave it whole if it's a cold sandwitch, but grilled cheese must always be cut once, diagonally. This allows for easier tomato soup dipping, and cheese oozing. Great, now I want a grilled cheese!
