Comment on punctuation: there is no punctuation in the original Hebrew Bible, which is good; this has saved us from unending debate, schisms and holy wars over the placement of a comma.

Sammies? Sandos? Utter madness! The only accepted abbreviation is 'sarnies', surely?!

Though, on reflection, I do accept that, here in the UK, we can't throw stones given our track record with naming bread-related goods (case in point: https://everywordcounts.co.uk/names-for-bread-rolls/).

Visiting Copenhagen, where they claim the open-face sandwich is a Danish food. Feels ingredient neutral, and structurally European.
