What are sangers? We are going to Australia and New Zealand in October
so I need to learn the lingo.

You and others, lol. It's a sandwich. In England I believe it is a
sarnie. We are weird people.

Most of us "Yanks" call it a sandwich. One gal who does a popular cooking
show calls it a "sammich" but I think she's just trying to be cute.

I say both parts of the word as one,my mother always broke the two words
apart, it sounded odd Sand Witch.

Years ago I was in a sports store looking for a sand wedge for my
husband. It's a golf club, for those that don't know.

When I asked for help, the clerk asked me if the store looked like a
restaurant.
My next stop was the manager.

I think "sammich" may be regional or slang.

When I was in college in Maine, there was an enterprising guy who came
around the dorms about 10:00 (well, 10:00 my floor of my dorm) every
week night with a hamper of sandwiches and cold drinks. He announced
his presence by shouting down the corridor, "Sammy Man!" and that's how
we knew him. He had a pretty steep markup on those fairly slim sammies,
but some nights that thin layer of tuna-flavored mayo on Wonderbread
with one slim slice of iceberg lettuce tasted *so* good. Dinner was
from 4:45 to 6:00, and that left a long time until bedtime.

You may be right. The TV gal is from Rhode Island, IIRC. She uses the
term "sammy", too.

Down where I live in Mexico, Texas, they mostly eat stuff wrapped in
tortillas and call them "tacos" No hard shells. I think one has to go
to a national chain to find a sandwich, like a Denny's or Applebees.

Yikes! I worked at a golf course and I do know what it is.

In fact the golf pro got quite a kick out of me when I was taking lessons.
One day the other students were running late so he decided to take me and
the other guy who was there and show us how to get out of the sand traps.
The two of us spent about an hour doing nothing but hitting from the trap.
I got very good at it. But do you think I could land in the trap when
playing golf? Noooooo.

Sausages.

See if this helps:

(some of those are archaic, but many still in use)

And this will help your pronunciation:

I had MNX for brekky t'day.

1/4 cup Peanut butter ; - Reduced fat version is best

I accidentally bought a jar of reduced fat "peanut spread" and it's been
on my shelf for months as it didn't sound appetizing to me. It was the
last jar left yesterday, and I looked at it and noticed it said "60%
peanuts" on the front. I wondered what the heck the other 40% was...
even Jif and Skippy are primarily peanuts!

The main ingredient list is peanuts, corn syrup solids, soy protein,
sugar. In the 2% or less category, there's: salt, molasses,
hydrogenated vegetable oils, magensium oxide, ferric phosphate, zinc
oxide, niacinamide, copper sulfate, pyridoxine hydrochloride and folic acid.

So the other 40% has some vegetable protein but is mostly sugar, with
some minimal amount of trans fat, vitamins and minerals added.

This stuff comes in at 15g carb per 2 TB serving as opposed to 6g in
regular peanut butter or 5g in the natural stuff; that's pretty
significant to me as I'm unlikely to eat only 2 TB of peanut butter as a
serving anyways, a quarter jar is more likely!

The label says it's only 12g fat per serving as opposed to 16g in
regular peanut butter. I expect I could accomplish a similar fat
reduction just by pouring the oil off of the natural stuff.

How nasty. I buy the 100% peanut stuff with no additives or preservatives
and pour off most of the oil. It's a bit hard to spread this way, but it
still works. I also buy the Adams No Stir. I prefer the Adams brand
because there is no chance of cross contamination with it. I have an almond
allergy.
