The way that we consume certain foods can reveal a lot about us. The way we like our steak, or fry eggs has the potential to cause many arguments, and lunchtime foods are no different.

This has been underlined by a recent tweet, which had users arguing over the best way to cut a sandwich. After @PleaseBeGneiss suggested that cutting the bread diagonally gave "more sandwich" caused people to come up with all sorts of wild and wacky ideas of how the staple should be eaten.
