Word origin
The concept of the sandwich dates back to the 18th century, attributed to John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich. Legend has it that he requested his meat to be served between two slices of bread so he could eat without interrupting his gambling. The idea caught on and eventually led to the creation of dedicated sandwich shops.
