I prefer diagonal cut, but I often use a horizontal cut when in a hurry.

This. My mom used to cut my sandwiches that way throughout grade school, always been my favorite method.  Although, I do just dive in sometimes too like clib's method.

I love sesame seed bread, but the store is usually out of it.

Diagonal cut every time, and on a long sandwich like a submarine I make a series of diagonal cuts 3" (10 cm) each.

You didn't ask, but I also like toasted, re-assembled (to better adhere internally), then cooled back to room temperature before slicing.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.

If it's a square slice of bread and you aren't cutting diagonal then you're doing it wrong. No exceptions.

Why only square?

Obviously, circular sandwiches are better, cut, also, right?

I prefer round rolls :p
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

My experience is that the smaller your sandwich pieces, the greater the likelihood of a piece being stolen by a significant other.

This is why my sandwiches are never cut.

This is also why I eat my sandwiches in the bathroom.

That's why you lay the ground rules early by showing said SO the scar on your middle finger where the knife you just used to cut your sandwich into tiny delicious marvels tried to cut your finger off.  Imply that it would be a shame if you had to go to urgent care because of theft.  Or that something happened to those pretty hands...

The problem with smaller pieces is I want more that way.

I don't cut my sandwiches either..

I once had a sandwich with a huge piece of Taiwanese style fried chicken inside. They cut it into 4 triangles and the mayo & tomatoes kept oozing out.. How are you even supposed to eat a sandwich that's been cut into 4 triangles?! You take one bite, and you're left with the crust.  :confused:
