- In some parts of France, a sandwich filled with cold meats like 'salami' might be referred to as a 'casse-croûte', which literally means 'break-crust'.
- While salami is understood, many French people would specifically ask for a sandwich au saucisson, as saucisson is the traditional French dried sausage.
- The term 'sandwich' entered the French language directly from English, making it one of the few culinary terms that did not undergo significant phonetic transformation.
