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? :wacko:

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 ... :huh:

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

It is midwestern slang for sandwiches.

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

Davydd

It is just an Anglicized Welsh spelling for David to celebrate my English/Welsh ancestry. The Welsh have no "v" in their alphabet or it would be spelled Dafydd.

I must warn you. My passion is the Breaded Pork Tenderloin Sandwich

:hmmm:

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.

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

' 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. :raz:

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.
