Etymology

The term 'sandwich' was popularized in the 18th century and is often attributed to John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich. According to legend, he was so engrossed in gambling that he requested his meat be served between slices of bread, allowing him to eat without interrupting his game. This convenient way of eating caught on, and soon others began to order 'the same as Sandwich' when at restaurants. The practice of sandwiching different foods has evolved, leading to a diverse array of sandwich styles and types across many cultures. The concept has expanded to include various bread forms and filling combinations, transcending its humble beginnings.
