Pondering Bread Slicing Methods
What does the way you slice your bread say about you?Last night I was watching my mom make a sandwich, and after she was finished, she sliced the bread horizontally across. She always used to slice my sandwiches this way when I was a kid and I always hated it. To me, the horizontal slice was so ugly, and sandwiches looked so much more pretty and grown up when they were sliced diagonally so the bread formed two perfect triangles. To this day when I make my own sandwiches, I always slice the bread diagonally. It just tastes better that way.

i am a diagonal slicer. but i also like making bread soldiers. i.e. when you cut it into 3 or 4 thin strips.
diagonal slicing is what all the cool kids are doing
I dont slice my bread. It's just an extra thing that is unnecessary.
bread soldiers - excellent idea!! i'm still such a kid that mark always asks me if i want my grilled cheese in triangles or squares (and of course i always go for triangles!!!)
this is a hot topic. maresa, perhaps you should make a facebook group about it. personally, i love sandwiches cut into quarters, like laurel, but i agree with maresa about slicing diagonally. much more attractive. however, when i am making a sandwich to take to work or school i often don't slice it at all, a la john, because it stays together better that way.
who knew that everyone was so passionate about sandwiches...
dude, i am so not into quarters. all the filling falls out. unless, i suppose, it's plain grilled cheese or peanut butter and jam - but generally, i like my sandwiches packed with as much stuff as possible.
i didn't mean quarters! i just meant diagonals which still produces triangles :P
