diagonally.
two triangles. there's some science behind this: the angle/cut makes the eater take smaller bites.
smaller bites have been shown to have a greater sensory experience: texture & flavor.
if you like science and are smart cut your FUCKING SANDWICHES DIAGONALLY
If you like science you'll provide sources. ;)
university of vermont, this article links to it but the link has gone dead. I presume if you wrote to the culinary department they could dig it up on some old hard drive

Have you a source for this because if you do I'll never cut a sandwich any other way for the rest of my life. I swear it.
the study was done at the university of vermont. this article links to it, but the link is dead and I cannot spend any more energy on this topic.

Thank you kindly. :)
source: their ass
This doesn't make sense, I can't take as big of a bite of a horizontal cut because I can't nom pointy end first into roughly half the sandwich?
so there was some kind of casual study that showed people tend to take smaller bites of diagonally cut sandwiches. do not ask me to give a source, Dan Pashman mentioned it on his James Beard Award winning podcast The Sporkful.
Side note: The Sporkful is best known for its ongoing debate about whether or not a hodog is a sandwich
That's funny. Never listened to The Sporkful, but I'd have said that this is what Judge John Hodgman is best known for, as well.
Fuck you I WANT A BIG CHOMP
