On Epicurious' main page, they have a link to a recipe section, the link is called Soups & Sammies.

WTH, is that a Rachael Ray invented term?

[Gifted Gourmet]

Either:

(a) we are all in for a large dose of Rachel Ray's personal contrived infantile lexicon for foods or ...

(b) we are headed down the 'steep slope' of inane verbiage by this young woman ...

In any event, seeing this on the Epicurious website, and so prominently featured, makes me just the tiniest bit nauseous ...

try listening to your morning news and hearing the traffic reporter mention that there is a "jamm-o" on the road.....

[WHT]

It is midwestern slang for sandwiches.

[dockhl]

I guess the good news is I had NFI what "sammies" were and had to check the thread to find out.

Won't be part of MY life, guaranteed............

It could be worse, at least it wasn't "Stoups and sammies"

Could of fooled me. I'm pure Midwesterner and I never heard that term until reading message boards online.

' Sammie ' is a very common term used in New Zealand, Australia and the UK to describe a sandwich.

I, for one, am not in the least bit snobbish about the word. Its cute.

fg- you know it's funny, i saw this soup and sammies link on epicurious when i was looking around for a recipie. alittle later i saw this thread (maybe 10/15 minutes later). went back to epicurious to see it again, and it was gone. vanished.

coincidence? i think not!

[YoChefGregg]

I noticed that the headline vanished quickly, but I didn't notice just how quickly.

Wow. And thankfully.

I'm also a midwesterner, and have never heard that term used for a sandwich.

[Darcie B]

As a former Midwesterner, I also never heard of sammies, but we did call them sammiches.

the term "sammies" has been around long before Rachel Ray landed on TV, everyone might, or might not, be interested to know.

Sorry, regardless of its provenance, the term makes me want to vomit. Blech.

[tommy]

yeah, it makes me ill to my stomach too, like stuff on the 5 o'clock news. i still haven't found that link on epicurious.com, so maybe we're all saved.

It would sound better if said by a Brit or Aussie (it too is a derivation): like "telly," "ciggie," or the rest. I remember in the last century some said "drinkie pooh" for cocktail. It's baby talk so I get why a mother might "sammy" to her kids.
