Introduction:

Sandwich was originally an unknown town in the southeast of England. There was a man named Montagu in the town. He was a card lover. He was addicted to card games all day and had forgotten all about eating and sleeping. It was difficult for the servant to wait on his diet, so he put some dishes, eggs and sausages between two pieces of bread and let him eat while playing cards. Unexpectedly, Montagu was overjoyed when he saw this food, and casually called it "sandwich". When he was hungry, he shouted, "Bring sandwich!" Other gamblers followed suit and began to eat sandwich when playing cards. Soon, sandwich spread all over the British Isles, to the European continent, and later to the United States.

Other statements refer to:

It is said that the word Sandwich was invented by a gambler. At the end of the 18th century, there was a British knight named Sandwich. He was so fond of gambling that he didn't want to come down once he got on the poker table, and he didn't even want to eat, so he forgot to eat or sleep.

Once a servant invited him to dinner, he not only said he didn't have time to eat, but also scolded the servant. The servant felt sorry for his master, so he thought of an idea and sent the bread to his master separately, so that Sandwich continued to gamble while eating the bread. Later, he thought it was impossible to eat bread without vegetables, but it was very troublesome to eat with a knife and fork. It was better to put vegetables in the bread, so that gambling would not be affected, and he would not be hungry, and he could eat delicious vegetables. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone! People think this method is time-saving and labor-saving, so they follow suit and spread quickly, and named this food after his surname (Sandwich). The earliest bread was filled with ham, cold meat and other foods. Now it contains roast beef, chicken, eggs, fish, vegetables and so on. In China, there are also foods named after Sandwich, such as "ham and sausage sandwich" and sandwich biscuits.

The origin of the name "sandwich":

Sandwich is a delicious and convenient food named after a place name. Sandwich is a little-known town in southeast England. 1700 became famous because of the fourth generation of sandwich earl in England. The earl's name was John montague. He was addicted to gambling and played bridge, and he almost lost all his sleep and food. In order to cater to his master, his chef thought of a way to sandwich meat, eggs and vegetables with slices of bread for the earl to eat while playing cards, which won praise.

Because this kind of food is simple to make, delicious, nutritious and easy to carry, it is widely welcomed, and later spread to all parts of the world by seafarers.

Because this kind of food originated in this area, people named it "sandwich". Later, it gradually developed into a fast food that swept the world.
