Annually observed on November 3rd, National Sandwich Day honors one of America’s most popular lunch items. Interestingly enough, the name “sandwich” is believed to be the namesake of John Montagu, The 4th Earl of Sandwich. He actually claimed that he invented the sandwich.
As a rumor in a travel book suggests, Montagu was an avid gambler. He refused to take meal breaks during his long hours at the tables playing cards. Instead of leaving, he would ask his servants to bring him slices of meat between two slices of bread. Needless to say, this quickly became a trend and fellow gamblers began ordering “the same as Sandwich.” And that’s how the sandwich was born.
We aren’t gamblers, but we sure do love a good sandwich, especially since there are so many variations of this classic meal. Try making one or more of the following recipes and let us know how they turned out in the comments below.
