I recall when I was in secondary school my dad & his mate having a debate about this. They'd been for a couple of beers after work & were a bit merry when they got to our house. My dad was admit through they were his pieces & his mate, who was English, was equally convinced they were sarnies. Was very amusing.

But I still have a jammie piece for my tea. I've trying to convince my 6yo that is the correct name for them but she just giggles at me. Ho hum.

My parents call them butties. I hardly ever hear anyone else use that term, but it makes me feel all comfortable and cosy and safe.

I am from cardiff you see.

It take me back to a time not so long ago

I went to Doncaster for a BBQ and this woman said to me

"Do you want Marg on your Bap"

She might as well have been speaking welsh at me because I had no idea what she was on about!

I later found out the silly mare wanted to know if I wanted some butter on my bread!

Marge isn't butter though! Butter is butter, marge is margerine. Butter is lovely, marge is vile.

A piece... a supper... But why can't you have a piece supper?
My auntie loves a mince piece. I prefer jam.

Or cheese if it's for eating work.

You'd be in heaven if you'd tried my mum's white bread........

With strawberry jam, plain or toasted it's heavenly

Fab! You beat me to it, I was going to ask if anyone had heard of that song!

Takes me back to my lovely west of Scotland childhood! I remember learning that song at primary school.

Talking of plain - I've not seen a plain loaf for a long time. Probably since I moved over the border. Now you're talking - one of those with jam & butter.

And a cup of tea. Yum.

I thought stovies was mashed potatoes with spring onions chopped in it.
Nooooo, stovies is traditionally just whatever meat you've got leftover from the day before all mixed up with some mashed tatties

...although my mam never bothered with leftovers and used to just make it with corned beef instead

My OH and I can never agree about what to call that - he goes for 'square sausage' while I'm 'sausage meat'...

Two rich teas with a bit of jam between them rocked too....
