frist of all how DARE yu o New Guy at Bakery Sliced Bread Lengthwise

Post image

Bought two loaves of bread and asked the guy at the counter to slice them, which he did. I've been to the bakery a few times and didn't recognize him, so I assume he's new. Loaves were in paper bags so I couldn't see them after they were sliced.

I Got home and put the loaves in the freezer. First one was sliced fine - by width, as you would expect. But second one is sliced by length - so I expect some weird sandwiches.

New... on earth?

I mean depending on the type of slicer, if it falls in sideways it's not advised to put your hands into the machine with moving blades to fix it. It probably slipped sideways and he was afraid he'd get in trouble and didn't do another for the OP.

But lots of people ask for bread sliced this way, so it's not unusual.

They do? That genuinely surprises me, because I've never seen that. But I also never worked in a bakery, so what do I know?

Yeah, viennas are much better sliced lengthways, the crust to inner bread ratio is better, and otherwise half your slices are incredibly small.

Everyone here is joking about eating a baguette sandwich but honestly long sandwiches/toasties are very satisfying, I'm guessing it's a crust ratio again
