I line the knife up horizontally, then turn it just over 90 degrees unblock Mar 2023 #1

Depends for me what it is. If it's thick, I do not cut it all all. RKP5637 Mar 2023 #2

I'm A Diagonal Cutter As Well.... global1 Mar 2023 #3

Both. Depends on how messy the results would be, that is, if I cut it diagonally, would the SWBTATTReg Mar 2023 #4

Yes - and more importantly, cilla4progress Mar 2023 #6

Why what? Because it's interesting to know how DUers do things. debm55 Mar 2023 #10

Of god you sound like my daughter who aways deconstructs her food at the table. Irish_Dem Mar 2023 #26

Our deconstructed BLT is a thought out plan... MiHale Mar 2023 #36

That is what I should do for my daughter. Irish_Dem Mar 2023 #42

I use one piece of bread and fold it over the other stuff. lark Mar 2023 #15

I know but then you have to bite into a mountain of bread at the fold? Irish_Dem Mar 2023 #21

I use thin bread, no moutain to climb. lol lark Mar 2023 #29

You still have to deal with the fold. Irish_Dem Mar 2023 #30

Yep. That is why I cut things in small pieces. Irish_Dem Mar 2023 #55

I just pounce on it and devour it, like a hungry leopard on an antelope. Ocelot II Mar 2023 #16

It doesn't matter. If you're a leopard you don't care Ocelot II Mar 2023 #22

My tummy is going all queasy now. Irish_Dem Mar 2023 #23

Grilled cheese is diagonal, PB&J is no-cut, everything else straight across petronius Mar 2023 #47

Definitely diagonal--We were taught this in home-ec class so people eat in from the corners. Nanuke Mar 2023 #48
