I haven’t posted an inane food poll for a couple of weeks so…
With the open side facing you (a la this) if it’s a closed-back roll, doesn’t matter if it’s open on both sides, do you usually start from the right end or the left end?
I typically start from the right. I’d imagine that handedness may be a factor in one’s preference, but we’ll see.
Left. Always the left. That way my dominant hand covers the fillings and can keep them contained.
Oh, I don’t have the open part facing me. If it were me, I’d turn it around like a hot dog and eat it that way.
I’m bi-endian. (Which means both mono-endian camps consider me a Traitor To the Cause.)
A sub like that (more than about 5 inches long) should always be cut in half. You then start eating from the cut center and work out towards the ends.
All subs I’ve ever got have been cut in half and I also start at the midpoint where in was cut when eating both halfs.
In the screenshot you gave I’d start on the left with the fillings facing me.
Aw, there’s no option in the poll for me and my hotdog/burrito style.
Ditto. And slice on a diagonal so you have a reasonable sized section to start on.
Cut in half, then I will always start with the right side and start eating from the cut end.
So, left side of the right half, then right side of the left half.
I am right handed but other than writing and using a knife, I can do most things with both.
Cut in half and start in the middle. A sub will fill me up so I save the ends, with the least bit of sub stuff, for last and usually I don’t eat the last couple bites of bread and a few tiny bits of sub stuff.
The right end. I hold the sandwich with the left so the right can more deftly grab potato chips.
The end that’s closer to my mouth, as it’d be rather difficult to start with the other end.
I don’t even get how a sub has a “left end” or “right end” to begin with.
If it’s cut I’ll eat both halves from the middle if it’s like the picture then I’ll start on the right.
From the left. I’m right handed.
Of course, most sandwiches come cut in two so I always eat from the middle.
I just realized that when I eat a closed-back roll like the one pictured I will most likely switch hands depending upon which half I’m eating.
If the sandwich pictured were cut in half I would eat the right half in my left hand and the left half in my right hand so the closed bit was always against the hand.
Also, I don’t put down a cheeseburger until I’m done eating it. I have no idea why.
I start from the forward torpedo end.
First I eat about 25% from the left, then about 25% from the right, then the middle.
Dammit. I thought this thread was going to be about submissive women.
Maybe sleestak would be the one to ask in the best ways to eat a sub.
Just about all the subs I eat are from Subway (2-3 times a week). A 6" I will eat from the cut end, which could be on either side. A 12" I will usually start from the cut (left) end of the right half.
I don’t believe that I’ve ever paid attention to this issue. Now I have to go find a sub and eat it.
