    There was a story doing the rounds a few years ago, where Joey Dunlop was being presented with some honour or other at Buckingham Palace. Whilst he and his wife were being presented his kids were left in some sort of creche until the do was over. Anyway part way through some of the palace flunkies came looking for the Dunlops. One of the kids was raising the roof and no one could understand what they wanted. When the Dunlops went to see it turned out the kid wanted a jam piece.
    I started out with nothing......And still have most of it left:p

    So why exactly is a sandwich called a "piece" in certain parts of NI?

    Ulster Scots origin - a "piece" is a packed lunch.

    Brilliant, it's an approximation - thanks for the explanation.

    Guy at work eats hot buttered toast sandwiches - claims combination of melted butter and the texture of the toast inbetween the bread is hard to beat.

    Hot weaten bread short of being toasted with butter and a light spreading of ham and cheese - great combination.
