Sarnies?

[longers]

Following Yello's post in the forehead question.

What do you call your packed lunch? I've heard a few versions of the same thing and would like to know how common they are with you lot.

Any I've forgotten?

I once worked with a scottish guy and he called them 'pieces'

Sarnies for me though!

Crowse (pronounced as cow but with an r after the c) is one I used to hear in Cornwall!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah - pieces it is. Or sometimes it's your playpiece (what kids take to school to eat).

 

[longers]

Could a mod please add "pieces" to the poll?

And "crowse" too please?

Pack up - only because there wasn't an option for scran.

Was he from NE Scotland? The term 'piece' can refer to anything from a biscuit, to a bit of cake, to sandwich...

"You'll be having a piece with your tea" as plate of cake is proffered..

Heard many a time on the multitudinous visits to the rellies in Aberdeenshire.

The term piece = sarnie in the west of scotland

When I was a little girl my mum used to make me pieces, but I thought it was spelt piecey. I thought that was posh! Don't know where that came from as Mum was from Atherton.
Nowadays they are called, butties, and even sandwiches, or whatever word rolls off the tongue. Have never tried Cheddar and hm plum jam, although I make jam myself. Will have to try!

 

[Campfire]

Perhaps some of you will post original "piece" fillings, I run out of ideas as I have to make them for t'other half every day, even Saturday and sometimes Sunday.
