A sandwich. Japanese simplified the pronunciation to "sando", and it seems people really want to make their sandwiches appear fancier by calling them "sando" too. Because, you know, Japan is popular and doing anything "the Japanese way" gives +100 clout points instantly (even if the only Japanese thing in it is freaking mayo).

Im an Aussie and if i say ‘breakfast burger’ people correct me to ‘breakfast sandwich’ i made it in my home kitchen I’m not trying to make some Japanese bastardisation, its just a bloody breakfast sandwich/burger/whatever.

Yeah, sando is a pretty natural way for Australians to shorten their words too.

Wow I can't believe you called it mayo instead of mayonnaise, are you looking for clout points?
This is a really aggressive response to a very inane trend. I was in Portland, ME recently and "sando" was more common than "sandwich" and i didn't even think about the Japanese connection.

It can be a plate of spaghetti but if you call it Japanese Reddit loves you
