Sandwich is a typical western food. It is made with two slices of bread and a few slices of meat and cheese, and various seasonings. It is easy to eat and is widely popular in Western countries. The history of Sandwich is almost as old as bread, but at first there does not seem to be a specific name. There is an interesting story about the origin of sandwich.
Sandwich was originally an unknown town in the southeast of England. There was an Earl of Sandwich named John Montagu in the town. He was a card-playing person. He was addicted to card games all day, and he had gone to the point where he could not sleep or eat. It was difficult for the servant to serve his food, so he sandwiched some dishes, eggs and sausages between two slices of bread, and let him eat while playing cards.
Unexpectedly, Montagu was overjoyed when he saw this kind of food, and called it "sandwich" casually. Later, when he was hungry, he shouted: "Take a sandwich!" Other gamblers also rushed to imitate, eating sandwiches when playing cards. Soon, sandwich spread all over the British Isles, and spread to the European continent, and then spread to the United States.
Nowadays sandwich is no longer as single-variety as it used to be, and it has developed many new varieties. For example, there are "nightclub sandwiches" with chicken or turkey slices, bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes, "Lauben sandwich" with corned beef, Swiss cheese, pickles and Russian topping on black bread slices, and fish "Tea-drinking sandwich" of sauce, cucumber, water celery, tomato, etc. In France, slices of bread are often no longer used when making sandwiches, but rolls or dough rolls are used instead. Sandwich made of French baguettes is also called "submarine bag"! "
