| FOOD Debate: Square or triangle on a sandwich?

[It Takes Eleven]

I can't think of the name of the place off the top of my head...

There's a local place that specializes in their scallop Po boy...served with a Creole Tarter Sauce and a remoulade...it's a damn bakery and I just can't pull the name.

AND, since @It Takes Eleven brought it to my attention...EVERY good Po boy starts with the bread. There's a place called LoLA that has several varieties of the sandwich...but, more importantly they get their bread, daily, from a French bread place. I'm not vegetarian on anything...but it's a damn good sandwich with fried green tomatoes at its core. Their shrimp and crawfish...pretty damn tasty.

The appearance of the place? Well...

Po boys are overrated, unless you just want to eat a whole loaf of French bread. If I want shrimp or oysters, just give me a platter and avoid the blood sugar flotsam that loaf wreaks.

I guess I'm both! I made me two sandwiches today, and I cut one Square and one triangle. If the wife makes me one or two she will cut it up as multi square.

I do both as well @rick4bama

Not sure you've ever had a good one, bread to filling ratio has to be right

I'm more than a triangle guy...cut that joker into four pieces.

The square isn’t a square. It’s a rectangle.

You'll note the two I mentioned are far from ordinary; like shrimp. I won't order a platter of shrimp when I'm out running around. When there are several pounds in the freezer...what's the point?

I may eat one once a year; maybe twice. I think it was June when I had the veggie. Several W's that day. The sandwich was recommended by a woman, on a warm day, on a walk, which ended up as a win.

I've known Tim awhile; long enough to know he's likely had a few, in a few different locations.

Gotcha, the good ones imo come on more of a baguette and not a dense one. Need light airy bread and enough filings that you need fork for the spills.

I’ve had some really good ones, including New Orleans and various points in SW LA; Over the years, however, I’ve become more aware when eating big quantities of bread. It’s an easy way for me to avoid empty calories and still enjoy things.

Anyone who says this is basically admitting all they did was transition from a square.

A sandwich, on white bread, starts as a square. Depending on how you cut it (one cut only), it becomes a triangle or rectangle.
