Do you slice your sandwiches or eat them whole?

Question

I've never sliced a sandwich in my life.  If you're a sandwich slicer, which way do you slice it?

BlueStripedSoul · Accepted Answer

It just depends on the contents of the sandwich.

Most times I don't slice it, as I feel a whole slice keeps the integrity of contents of the sandwich together better, but sometimes with a sloppy sandwich it's the opposite and slicing it can actually hold the contents together better. Like with an egg salad sandwich. It has a squishy filling and if you don't slice it, with every bite it tends to push a little more of the filling downward and/or outward toward the edges, so by the time you're halfway through the sandwich it's all coming out the sides. But if you slice it in half the filling doesn't squish out as much because it requires fewer bites per piece that squish the filling outward.

However, with most other sandwiches I don't bother slicing it. I just feel it it holds the contents together much better, but again, each sandwich is different.

i never make my sandwiches, now that I think about it. But they are almost always served to me sliced. I'll eat them whole if that's how they are served, though, so if I made my own sandwich I probably wouldn't think to slice it, and so wouldn't slice it.

Depends on the sandwich. Usually corner to corner. If it’s grilled cheese it always has to be cut in the shape of a sailboat. I don’t care if I’m old and grey in a retirement home my grilled cheese had best be cut in a sailboat with a river of ketchup.

Preferably folded rather than sliced. But i also hardly use white bread. I prefer brioche buns

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I don’t usually slice sandwiches for myself. I’ve made a few hoagies in my time and normally slice them in half. I’ve always sliced sandwiches for kids, so it’s a little less messy for them to eat. In which case, corner to corner in quarters seems to be best.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I like my sandwiches about 2 inches thick :D

I prefer large loaves of sandwich bread with a double slicing:

The first cuts make the slices (hence the name), and each slice is then cut diagonally; so when I eat them I can hold it like a pocket - there's significantly less of a mess around me.

Do you slice your sandwiches or eat them whole?

Shark_61695 · Answer

Whatever makes them most convenient. If it has dried meat like salami which my teeth won't necessarily cut I'm more likely to slice.

Interestingly there was a study where the results slicing sandwiches diagonally made them taste better than squares.

KrisPW · Answer

I always slice unless it's a really small sandwich. I usually slice diagonally, it just looks prettier. But if that messes with the contents, I'll cut to accommodate.

Small burgers, no. Big fancy burgers, yes. And if you're one of those hotdogs are sandwiches people, then no, I don't cut those.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

I always cut a sandwich (as in the two slices of bread ones).

it seems barbaric to eat a sandwich whole, also how does everything stay inside it.

for myself at home, it’s just across, for guests etc it’s angled.

About the only time I slice a sandwich is when I'm having BLTs and then I cut them at a diagonal, once you put bacon lettuce tomato and miracle whip on bread it gets a little slippery so it's much more controllable in a wedge shape

DarkCarousel · Answer

I usually only use one slice of bread that I cut in half and make a sandwich with those slices. After that, I don’t slice it any further.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

I actually do like to slice sandwiches; because it's a mind trick that makes you think you are eating more food than you actually are.

NYCQuestions1976 · Answer

Nah that's just an unnecessary step that adds precious seconds on the sandwich journey. Any large sub needs to be cut though.

Well..., I never used to think about it or worry about it, but Cancer took my teeth. So until I am finished getting my implants. I'd have to say I do now. And it may be my inner child, but it has to be diagnal.

RavVid · Answer

It is a pet peeve that when you buy a sandwich that they automatically slice despite me say don't slice it. The fillings fall out - stupid to do.
