Diagonally is the definitive best way to cut a sandwich, I will not hear any other opinions, and there’s science to back it up. Surveys and studies show that the people demand a diagonally cut sandwich.

The reasons why people prefer the triangular sandwich halves are a little more speculative, but experts say it probably has to do with surface area and aesthetics.

The diagonal cut is, of course, longer than a straight up and down cut, meaning the available crustless biting surface is greater on each half, giving the illusion that there is less crust, which is always a good thing.

Some chefs argue that the diagonal cut makes the sandwich look bigger, or that it’s harder to spot imperfections on a triangle than on a rectangle, but the aesthetics thing is really something you have to feel in your heart.

Popeyes released their new chicken sandwich on August 12, 2019, and so many people bought it that the company actually sold out in two weeks. After a two-month hiatus, the sandwich returned to the menu on November 3, and customers are already reporting absurdly long drive-thru lines.

The initial launch of the sandwich began what was dubbed online as “The Chicken Sandwich Wars,” with Popeyes main competitor being Chick-fil-A. Customers took to social media to cast their vote on the superior chicken sandwich, and the chains themselves exchanged some light-hearted banter via Twitter.

The Popeyes sandwich sells for $3.99 and is made with fried chicken breast, two pickles, and a dollop of mayo on a brioche bun.

These are the 10-step instructions on How to Eat a Ham Sandwich:

1) Remove sandwich from plate with both hands and bring close to face.

2) Survey said sandwich for the most appetizing bite. (Personally I like corners, but others I know like to go straight for the middle.)

3) Open mouth and insert sandwich.

4) Bite down hard enough to chew through all layers while simultaneously withdrawing sandwich away from face. This is to allow adequate airflow while chewing. (Trust me, unobstructed breathing is quite important to fully enjoy the ham sandwich eating experience.)

5) Chew all sandwich ingredients thoroughly. (Note: It is rumored that the medical community recommends 32 times each bite so as to improve digestion.)

6) Swallow and place sandwich again on plate to rest briefly.

7) Partake in a sip of a refreshing beverage, if necessary or desired. If not, then proceed to step 8.

8) Meditate briefly on the flavors you just experienced and take one deep breath.

9) Repeat steps 1 - 8 until sandwich disappears

10) Make another sandwich if necessary and repeat steps 1 - 10 until your bodily organs no longer haunt you with the phrase 'one more bite'.

Finally, pause for a brief moment of silence to give thanks to the hard-working ranchers and farmers, and to the fauna and flora that were sacrificed to make this beautiful euphoric moment possible.

• That depends on variables such as the thickness of the bread, the type of bread, and how much cheese you use (whether grated cheese or sliced cheese.) In addition, will you use one slice of cheese or two, how thick will you slice your cheese, and what type of cheese will it be. Then there is the question of buttering the bread and if you do butter the bread how much butter will you use.

• You are looking at a minimum of 250 calories in a thin grilled cheese sandwich. It depends on the type of cheese, bread and butter (or margarine).
• There are about 250 calories in a small grilled cheese sandwich. Each slice of white bread has about 50 calories in it and each slice of American cheese has about 67 calories in it. So that 167 right there.
• But usually a grilled cheese sandwich will have two slices of cheese... so that puts you at 234. In addition, butter used for cooking, you are looking at about 300 calories overall for a thin grilled cheese sandwich.
• The cheese ALONE is going to be about 200 calories if you use say 2-3 slices of American cheddar. Whole grain wheat bread is generally 75-90 calories a slice as is white only it has more starch/sugar. I eat stone ground roman meal wheat, which is a whopping 90 calories a slice.
• In total, it could be as much as 500 calories just from ONE grilled cheese if you use say country crock whipped oil spread, which is a healthy oil based spread, to "butter" each slice of bread as you need this for frying.
• It is a meal in itself with the calorie count being so high and it is 65-75% bad calories. It is not a snack.
• Therefore, it is high in fat, high in sugar and high, high, high in calories. It is best considered a treat to have maybe a couple times a month when you know your activity level will be high. You can always sort of cheat and slice a single slice of bread in half and make a half sized sandwich.

The naming goes back a long way- 1726. It was named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, an 18th-century English aristocrat, although he was neither the inventor nor sustainer of the food. It is said that he ordered his valet to bring him meat tucked between two pieces of bread, and because Montagu also happened to be the Fourth Earl of Sandwich, others began to order "the same as Sandwich!"

The classic answer is that it is named for a habit of the Earl of Sandwich, who when engrossed in games of chance, would not spare time for eating a formal meal, so he would put any meat being served between two slabs of bread and eat that while wagering.
The word sandwich first came from London, when a man named John Montagu when he was to busy gambling even though he was hungry. He told the waiter to get him a piece of roast beef between two pieces of bread, and that was the first sandwich supposedly.

There are a couple different theories on this. My personal favorite is that “club” stands for “Chicken and Lettuce Under Bacon,” which is fun but not all that plausible—a club doesn’t have to have chicken, after all, and the earliest recipes didn't follow that order or make any references to an acronym.

A better theory is that the first club sandwich was cobbled together at the Union Club or the Saratoga Club House in the late 1800s. Both places claim that coveted “first club sandwich” title, and, of course, both have “club” in their name. Either way, the sandwich’s broad popularity at country clubs around the turn of the 20th century could also account for its name.

The origins of bologna can be traced right back to the Bronze Age. Around three thousand years ago, a population of unkown origin settled in the Appenine region, on the banks of the Apose and Ravone rivers. During the Iron Age, this population developed its own authentic culture and came to be known as the Villanovan Culture.

The Italian city named Bologna does date back to the Villanovan culture, but that answer is a bit of a stretch; for all practical purposes, the food we call bologna can be traced to a similar Italian sausage named mortadella, which does come from the Bolognese region of Italy. Bologna is an American sausage that dates to the late nineteenth century.
