Samash?
The DVD of the first season of Lenny Henry's "Chef!" arrived
today. Moving through it I ran into a detail I hadn't noticed before. When an order is handed into the kitchen, the chef (on one occasion, someone else (for which she is castigated)) shouts something that sounds like "Samash". An internet search on this word turns up nothing immediately meaningful. I'm not even sure of the spelling. What is it all about? -- Bob Kanyak's Doghouse http://www.kanyak.com

When I (briefly) worked as a short-order cook all I said to acknowledge orders was "Got it!". -- Bob Kanyak's Doghouse http://www.kanyak.com
