    I am seriously doubting mudcoos scouse credentials - no one and I mean no one in liverpool calls buttys sandwiches. For the record I am a cut it in half, yum yum crust man. Triangles for some reason make the eating experience go quicker - and no matter what the butty, no butter - but thats another debate. :D

    What!!! Now, I admit I have absolutely no scouse credentials. Although I did go to Birkenhead once. But how can a butty not have butter? Surely the butter is what gives it it's name.

    Wooly back or plastic? As I recall, people could never decide.

    Either way, this wooly back plastic always has butter on sandwiches, never unbuttered butties.

    A sandwich cut into quarters is not a sandwich, it is an amuse bouche.

    A sandwich may, at most, be halved (unless it is so toweringly massive that the bread requires toasting for structural integrity, and toothpicks are needed in the office of rebar).

    Bacon is however, right on. As are Mayo and Jalapenos (possibly the only culturally improving contributions from our American cousins).

    And this whingeing about crusts? Do you depilate your chests?

    This is an excellent point - I think mudcoo needs to clarify - I thought he meant cutting a sandwich into quarters, but after a debate with chums it was pointed out that he may have meant a sandwich made with a single diagonal cut, as you buy prepacked in Marks, in which case he may have a point.

    Mayo = Invented on the Balearic island of Menorca.

    Jalapenos = I was always taught that they were Mexican.

    Ah, but it's the integration into the deli sandwich. A phenomenon that combines Italian. Jewish, German, British and who knows what other cultures. This combination is American, and the world is a better place.

    I cut my toast diagonally using a zig zag pattern, or across the middle using the square root symbol, probably just me then :D

    Mrs T carefully folds my toast in half, takes a bite out of it (she says its lower GI that way!) then unfolds it so I get a slice of toast with a circular bite taken out of the middle!

    It's a mad house I tell ya!

    You can't cut pitta bread into triangles. Maybe that's the root cause of problems in the middle east.
