    Classic Sandwiches

    The sandwich is an important food in our lives. It is simple, portable, and


    elaborate. But how was it invented? Why was it named as Sandwich?
    What did it look like in traditional way? It is interesting to look at the
    answers of these questions.

    People started eating sandwich since 1st Century. People put meat mixed nuts
    and herbs between two pieces of bread. And In the Middle Ages, people
    placed cooked meats and vegetables in thick slices of stale bread called
    'trenchers'(para.2).

    According to Grosley(1766), the name 'sandwich' came from John Montagu,


    the 4th Earl of Sandwich who ate “a bit of beef, between two slices of toasted
    bread” at a gambling table. The historian Rodger (1994) agreed that the Earl of
    Sandwich was the real inventor of the sandwich, but he thought the Earl ate it
    at office’s desk instead of a gambling table. The word ‘sandwich’ became very
    popular after that.

    Weaver (2003) states that the sandwiches became some intimate evening
    supper foods, teas, and picnics, then an ideal fast food which could be sold in
    train stations. (p. 235-6)

    According to Mrs. Webster (1844): ”Cut, and spread neatly with butter, slices
    of biscuit, placing between every two pieces, a very thin slice of tongue.
    “(p.210)
