Observation #5 - Sandwich Halves
Jun 16th, 2009 by Alex
After careful consideration, I’ve decided that sandwiches are better when cut diagonally. They don’t taste better necessarily, but the experience is better overall. With a full sandwich, you’ve got to hold it with both hands. I feel like I’m eating a turkey leg at the fair and large bites follow, inhaling the contents. Whereas a diagonal I can hold with one hand; it’s easier to take smaller bites and enjoy the thing. Plus when you’re done, you can take a breather and you’ve still got the second half. I feel like I’m getting more out of it.
I like sandwiches cut in half and displayed in the shape of a butterfly on my plate with two pretzel sticks sticking out of the body for the antennae . It doesn’t necessarily change the taste of the sandwich but it sure looks cute.
Tamra: So, flipped diagonals? My sandwiches rarely make it to a plate. I’m usually an eat-it-out-of-the-bag kinda guy.
