I'm not much of a picky eater, but I do confess to sometimes being a perfectionist. I like things a certain way. For example I like water before I go to bed every night in my favorite plastic pink glass, I like my iced teas in a special glass as well and I won't eat a homemade grilled cheese sandwich unless it is cut into four triangles. It's all psychological, I know that a grilled cheese doesn't taste different if it is cut into squares or triangles or not cut at all but I like it cut into triangles. I'll have to ask DearSugar if this is considered obsessive compulsive behavior... Also, I'm wondering if maybe I'm not alone, so reader, how do you cut your grilled cheese sandwiches?

Although I'm not very traditional with what I put IN my grilled cheese (I use feta!), I'm a traditionalist with the cut! Plain old rectangles...
1My grandmother use to cut it straight across but my husband does it diagonally so that's what I do now. Well he does it for me. I'm not so great at making them.
2I usually don't even cut the sandwich. I just eat. I love melted cheese.
3Across diagonally.I love grilled cheese sandwiches......
4my mom always cut them in half diagonally, so that's how i eat mine. although sometimes i just don't cut them at all.
5I don't cut mine, but I cut my kids' into four triangles.
6Girl You Betta Shut Up!! I can't eat em unless they are cut in Triangles either!! Party Sugar, U go girl!
7I cut mine in two triangles...better for dipping into soup that way!
8LOTS OF KETCHUP!!!!!!!!!!!!
best way. that or make it with a good
slather of butter. so bad but so good
9i just rip off pieces. mmmm i love grilled cheese, maybe i'll have that for dinner...
10I cut mine into truncated dodecahedrons. Just kidding. I cut diagnol, and then like abbyk, I rip off pieces. And of course the pieces get dunked in tomato soup. Yum yum yum!

11corner to corner but for my daughter I remove the crust and cut it into triangles
♥јεήή♥
12When in doubt DANCE!!!
13I sometimes get a metal cookie cutter and make the fun little ahapes as close to the crust as possible because sometimes i don't want crust and I have a whimsical shape to cheer up my plate. it gets a little gooey but it is still kinda fun!
You know what I want? A fun cookie cutter that's almost the size of a slice of bread. How much fun would it be make a dazzling grilled cheese and cut it in a fun shape. I am going to do that for my kids someday...when I have them and have perfected a grilled cheese of course.
14When in doubt DANCE!!!
15You bet my daughter that is pretty much the only way she will eat any of her sandwiches
2 Triangles...it just seems the best to me 'cause it slows me down. Otherwise, I'd gobble it up in about 10 seconds flat!!!
Melted cheese and buttery crispy bread mmmmmmmmmmm so hungry now
16As long as there is cheese, ketchup and pickles on the side I'm a happy camper.
17i don't really eat grilled cheese sandwiches. haven't had one in a long time...the only time i'd have one now is on light white bread and fat-free american singles!! but i cut them diagonally. that's how ya do it.
18I cute mine right down the center
19HAS to be diagonal!
20I don't care how you slice it, but the cheese must be gooey and the bread crispy. Dammit now I want a grilled cheese
21Wow just a grilled cheese sandwich recipe led to massive discussions! Whee. I like it diagonal!
22always in 2 triangles, thats just how it is!
232 triangles or i sometimes just wont eat it.haha weird i know..
24Another grilled sandwich post!!! YUM
25~wendybird33~
2 triangles with the crust off, thank you very much!
26Thanks to this post, I found out that my husband prefers them diagonally! I guess it's whatever was done in your childhood.
