Triangular Food is Delicious. Discuss.

[Michael Wallace]

So I have this theory that any triangular food is delicious. So far my compelling evidence includes:

Cake
Pizza
Cheese CONTROVERSIAL
Pie
Samosas (thanks Charlie)
Toblerone
Sandwiches
Doritos/Nachos (Charlie again)
"Those green things from Qaulity Street" (from Matt, I'd say debatable though)

As convincing as this list is, I think we need more proof. So put your thinking tricorns on and help prove that triangles are the most delicious shape.

[Marc Meakin]

Coz I'm greedy, I go with circlular food (you get more pie, cake, pizza etc.)

[Matt Morrison]

Those green triangles in (I think) Quality Street are fucking nice.

I really think we need to talk more about cakes, pizzas, and cheeses. If you're talking simply the shapes that things are cut into rather than the shape in which they are produced (in this case, all tend to be circular), then you're going to start opening up shitty debates about how to cut a sandwich again. I think this discussion is above that, so for the sake of honesty we need to decide what is really a triangular food.

I think it's got to be modal distribution shape. Plus everyone knows sandwiches are tastier when cut into triangles.

Alright, I'm down with that then. Kind of. Cakes and pizza I can agree with - I'd say 70% of cakes come in triangular form, 90% of pizza does (or is immediately cut into triangles). But cheese is probably quite a bit lower due to the 3D-trapezoid type shape that most packaged cheddars come in these days (Cathedral City, Pilgrim's Choice, et al), and own brand cheeses are nearly all cuboid - triangular cheese is now generally the stuff of a deli cheese counter, I'm tempted to say cheese is as little as 20% triangular these days, so I don't think I can bear to include it.

Ok then. I have officially set Cheese's status to CONTROVERSIAL.

[Marc Meakin]

Some of my most hated foods are triangularish, like carrots and parsnips.

But carrots and parsnips are lovely. And broccoli and cauliflower are sort of triangular, at least in floret form, and they're lovely too. And chilli peppers! They're triangular. I think Michael's onto something here.

I'm not sure which side of the argument this falls on (I see the triangular thing, but I've never been convinced of their deliciousness).

Agreed. Time to go to the polls, I reckon.

Good point - they keep coming over here, taking our jobs, let's take their jobs back from them which they don't have because they're over here!!!

in that case i'm squeezing sweetcorn kernels together until they form a big triangle. food of the gods.

I'm not convinced it's cheese, either.

Still delicious though!

And it's not triangular...

[Marc Meakin]

Thanks Kai, for that segment.

[Michael Wallace]

And it's not triangular...

Except if you're going to take that attitude then nothing is triangular.

[Alec Rivers]

And it's not triangular...

lol. You're right.
