Thorin Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 It occurred to me that when eating sandwiches I always eat them starting at the bottom of the slice leaving the more well-done top end til last. Am I alone in my sandwich eating peculiarity? Also, has anyone done that where you eat all the crusts off from round the edge of a slice of bread then squash the remaining bread into a little dough ball before eating? Thanks for listening.

Gaz Walker Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I eat mine sideways first, depending on if its cut in half or into triangles! Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I'm sorry. Can you please define which is the top and which is the bottom? I feel it is vitaly important I understand this before casting a vote which may skew the votes on such an important issue. My sandwiches are invariable cut like this : http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/healthykids/resources/sandwich.gif But we have Square bread, which means it's doesn't really have a top and a bottom.

Mike Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Pete, your 'diagram' shows the top of the sandwich at the top and the bottom at the bottom.... I would have thought..? unless you cut it across..? I'm confused now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 if you cut it across - which side do you eat first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I'm confused now.... My sandwichs are SQUARE. So there's no definite top and bottom. Some slices may be upside down on top of right way up ones! - my God WHAT WOULD I DO THEN!!!? He could mean he eats the top layer first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 if you cut it across - which side do you eat first? bottom, save the top (crustier bit) till last.... think someone's spiked my tea now...?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is definately a top, when the bread is sat baking in the tin and rises the top of the crust gets darker. In the picture above, the top of the bread, is at the top.

RedM Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 What's that? Sounds like a desease. Right, you know how bread isn't symmetrical? RCP is the method whereby you take the first slice and flip it over before buttering but then you butter the second slice as it comes off the loaf. This way, when you put the two slices back together they match up and you don't have filling falling out. Look here http://www.philpotts.co.uk/Default.asp?page=50 near the bottom of the page.
