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.
