.... how do you cut it?
What is different between cutting a sandwich side to side and vertically? The end result is identical.
There's some cultural thing going on here. The way I see it, a sandwich consists of two slices of bread, one placed on top of the other with stuff in between. Hence, I cut it vertically twice, or I would not have two slices. While I can visualize the concept of cutting horizontally it doesn't exactly strike me as a useful way of doing it. Diagonally? It boggles the mind. I could see a guitarist or drummer doing it, but not a bass player...
Yeah, I knew that. I was being facetious. But I still wonder why you should divide it into smaller pieces such as halves if you know you're going to eat both. That's the cultural issue.We're not talking about slicing the bread in the process of sandwich making, we're talking about cutting the sandwich once it's made.
