Anyway can we just reclaim "sandwich" and say "san-ditch", I'm sure it's supposed to be pronounced that way. Perhaps someone can fill me in on the etymology of the word.

Apparently Earl Sandwich came up with it around 1770, so that's plenty of time for Americans to bugger it up and for it to be pronounced incorrectly elsewhere.

Sammich. :)

Re: War ter
 

I'd never realised, there were so many ways to pronouce "sandwich". :confused: ..... I think my version is somewhere between "sand-wich" and "sand-widge", and if anything, closer to the latter.

Re: War ter
 

I think mine is probably more towards the latter, although my "d" is also tending towards being silent:o

But under no circumstances whatsoever will it ever be sammich or even worse, sammie!

Re: War ter
 

How about a "sarnie":lol:

Re: War ter
 

As it should be, of course!

Re: War ter
 

In our house you have a cheese sarnie or a chip buttie;)

Re: War ter

Yeah, I think about describes my pronunciation, though we're from the same part of the UK.

Oi, just 'cos I'm from Essex don't mean I'm common yer know:frown:

Re: War ter
 

But you've never had a bacon sarnie? How can that be:confused:

Re: War ter
 

Well it had bacon, and buttered bread, it just wasn't a "sarnie". .... You can blame my mother! :rolleyes:

Re: War ter
 

I have sammiches in the US and sarnies in the UK. Bilingual you know.
