NPR takes a look at rectangles versus triangle cut sandwich debate that has been raging since 18th century English aristocrab John Montagu aka Earl of Sandwich first "ordered his valet to bring him meat tucked between two pieces of bread." It doesn't look good for the squarists, as the report has "Chefs, foodies, an architect and even a mathematician" and this blogger voting in favor of the diagonal.
If your bread is square, and if each side is 4 inches long, you have 16 inches of crust. Cut that bread down the middle, and you get 8 inches of crust-free surface. Cut that same bread diagonally, Calter calculates, and you end up with almost 11 inches of crustless surface. That's a substantial increase.
Check. Square, your move.
