<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="im"><font size="2">> "Snap" is widely used in northern England for a packed lunch, such as<br>

</div><font size="2"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">In Scots a packed lunch is called a "piece". "Hiv ye got yer piece?" and</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
suchlike.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
A "piece" is actually a sandwich, ("a piece" or "a piece an jam", "a</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
piece an cheese" &c), originally a packed lunch was called a "piece"</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
because it could consist of just that.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
A "dookie piece" is a slice of bread soaked in the gravy of whatever</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
meat is simmering on the stove: one way to keep hungry children going</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
while waiting for dinner to cook, and helping to thicken a pot which is</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
taking too long to boil down!</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"></font>
