I used to cut my sons toast into quarters, but now he's 10 years old he's progressed onto big boy rectangle halves.

For myself, it depends on my mood. If I fancy hot toast straight from the toaster then I tend to drench in butter and leave it whole. If however I'm having my toast as part of a full English, I tend to cut into triangle halves and leave to cool in a toast rack before buttering.

It depends how I'm eating it. I cut it in half rectangles, when buttered, and eaten with marmalade for breakfast, or marmite at other times of the day.

When I have tinned spaghetti, or pilchards in tomato sauce, or scrambled egg, then I leave the centre slice whole, and a second slice, cut in triangular halves, with cut sides butting up to the longer sides of the whole slice.

My grandson usually wants his toast cut into "all the shapes":
* Cut the slice into two rectangles;
* Cut one of the rectangles into two squares;
* Cut one of the squares into two triangles.

When I do toast for my son, I cut each slice into quarters. For others, I cut slice in half, generally at a jaunty angle somewhere between the conventional rectangle and triangle shapes.

However when making toast for myself I leave the slices whole.

What do you do?

For me it has to be whole. The boy is now on to halves (rectangular).

Being veggie this probably doesn't cross your mind but I also do not bother cutting my own bacon sandwiches, whereas the Mrs will insist on them quartered :eek:

You're telling me, you don't do the toast, soldier style?

If it's cheese on toast (pretty much the only toast I eat), whole slices. The couple of times a year I have pate or Marmite on toast, cut into triangles.

white sliced bread I toast then cut in half

fancy bread I sliced BEFORE toasting under grill

if I'm feeling particularly "creative" I cut the bread into a shape, like a dinosaur or a shark, then grill it

I go for a whole slice, with one exception:

Cheese on toast ALWAYS gets cut in to quarters.

If just buttering or some other spread then I cut into triangles.

For cheese on toast I keep whole slices.
