Sammich.
Agreed! Samwidge is somehow warming. Lickle will never be samwidge.
I note that nobody is listing lickle, maybe because it is rubbish!
I say "sandwidge", but I'm very taken with the "samwidge" pronunciatin; it makes me smile in a way that lickle never will.
I think the mispronunciation of sandwich as samwidge has become so common that I have noticed people laughing at me when I pronounce it half-correctly (sandwidge). Then again, as Greenwich is usually pronounced with the ending "-dge", is "sandwidge" such a bad pronunciation? Is is critical that it is pronounced as it is spelled?
I like beef Wellington!
I'm not entirely happy about the common etymology of Sandwich. Doesn't add up for me.
Just imagine what we'd be eating if the Duke of Wellington had invented meat between two slices of bread and not the Earl of Sandwich!
Ever been on a sandwich course? Cookery for beginners.
