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.

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

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

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

How about a "sarnie"

As it should be, of course!

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

NEVER!



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

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

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

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