I always assumed Bangers was just a british term for sausages - as in bangers and mash meant sausages and mashed potatoes. Of course sausage meant your typical thick sausage, not a thin BBQ style one.
Bangers is a type of sausage, like Polish sausages, pork link sausages, and the like. Now it’s a type of sausage that I’m not particularly fond of, but it’s definitely not the generic pork link sausage that you’d get if you just asked for “sausage” at Denny’s.
A Nicki’s Special is basically a gyro, but instead of being served on a pita, it is served on a double cheeseburger. Mmmmm.
The other one is as follows:
Split a hot dog lengthwise, but not all the way through. Put a slice of mozzarella inside and wrap with bacon. Secure with toothpicks and deep fry. Eat on a bun with mustard. Oh my god I want one now.
I’ve had a verson of this at, IIRC, the Great Hot Dog Experience in Quail Springs Mall in Oklahoma City. Mind you, this was a combination of a couple of menu items, but I worked at the mall & the GHDE manager was a friend (always whooped him at Spy Hunter in the arcade, though):
Take a hot dog. Wrap with bacon. Lay on a large tortilla. Spoon on chili. Add cheese. Wrap tortilla. Strategically place toothpicks so tortilla doesn’t open up. Deep fry. Serve with salsa.
I think my aorta’s about to attempt to reach out through my throat & strangle me before I do it any more damage.
Bah. The Good Morning Burger is the Best. Sammich. Ever.
Start with a pancake about 12" in diameter.

Add the second pancake, also 12" in diameter.
Add the second layer of cheese.
Add a dozen scrambled eggs.
Add a pound of bacon.
Add the third layer of cheese.
Add the third pancake.
Add a pound of hash browns.
Add the fourth layer of cheese.
Add the fourth pancake.
Brush with melted butter.
Compress.
Slice in half.
Eat like a pita.
I intend to open a restaurant serving these someday, with a “Buy 10 get 1 angioplasty free” offer.
On the whole curling bacon thing, use a George Foreman grill. (what? You don’t have one? Shame!) I put the bacon on it cold & then set it for 11 minutes on med-hi. The bacon comes out perfectly cooked, drained, & curl-free! (dabbing optional, of course)
As for the pronunciation of “sammich”, just imagine our esteemed US leader “Dubya” is saying “sandwich”.
Now, I’m off to Dickie’s Bar-B-Q to get me a big, drippy hot link sammich…
