sammie

Bread-hugged filling meal

Sammie is an informal spelling of sammy, itself a casual term for a sandwich.

The diminutive form gives it a folksy, familiar feel, often appearing on café menus or in casual speech when someone wants to sound playful about lunch: I grabbed a sammie from the deli.

The spelling with -ie rather than -y is simply a variant, with no difference in meaning.
