Sarnies?

[scots_lass]

It's a piece for me whether it is a packet of crisps, just a biscuit or a proper sandwich. A 'piece' covers everything!

maybe I was wrong...

I've just read that McDonalds second biggest market,after the US, is..... France

...further, the sales of sandwiches is on the increase (equally pizza). Reasons cited are the changes in the work environment; more pressured so less time to eat, etc. Sad really innit?

Packed lunch, Sandwiches or Sarnies.

The Canadian husband of my cousin became quite alarmed when I said I did not want to go out for the day without a piece. The word has a different meaning in North America apparently.

20 minute break stuffing an M&S plastic wrapped, stale cheese & pickle sandwich down your neck OR a leisurely 3 courses plus cheese, coffee and wine over 90 minutes with friends?

m&s sandwiches haven't been plastic wrapped in years, they come in a waxed cardboard/paper wrapper that folds out into a plate.

Apparently here in Hampshire it's traditionally called "feckle-ickle-thump" although I prefer to call it, "higgledy-piggledy-woot-woot".

What about a slice of fruit cake between two slices of white bread!! I have never tried that but I know a man that has!!!!

Best sarnie I know is Veda malt loaf and strong cheese and pickle. Cracker!!!!!

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.

Aye, or a meringue.

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

Me too. Looks like it's just the two of us (ooh-er!). Must be a local thing.
