What year was the sandwich invented?

Answer 1

Englishman... John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich - named after him who popularised modern Sandwich. He ate meat in two bread slices...others began to order "the same as Sandwich!" ....as they would say.

AnswerThe sandwich was invented in England in the 18th century by John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich. AnswerThe first form of sandwich is attributed to the ancient Jewish sage Hillel the Elder, who is said to have put meat from the Paschal lamb and bitter herbs inside matzo (or flat, unleavened bread) during Passover.

During the Middle Ages, thick slabs of coarse and usually stale bread, called trenchers, were used as plates. After a meal, the food-soaked trencher was fed to dogs, beggars, or eaten by the diner.

The first English usage of the word appeared in Edward Gibbon's journal, referring to "bits of cold meat" as a 'Sandwich', named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, an 18th-century English aristocrat. It's said that Lord Sandwich was fond of this food because it allowed him to continue playing cards while eating, without getting his cards greasy. (Source: Wikipedia.)

It would be fun to say in 1781, created by the Earl of Sandwich, but in fact, people had been tucking meat or cheese into bread for years before the 4th Earl of Sandwich- but his name gets the credit.

When the kitchen was invented...lol jk

Answer 2

It was invented in the 18th Century by The Fourth Earl Of Sandwich but his name was John Montagu. The Fourth Earl Of Sandwich was his nickname and he was known by it. HOPE IT HELPSSSSSSSSSS NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Answer 3

The Earl Of Sandwich named it, but the Romans were doing it ages ago so they could eat with one hand. The Earl of Sandwich popularised it.
During the early 1700's the wealthy Earl of Sandwich was busy playing cards and gave the order to bring him a quick lunch-some meat between two pieces of bread.

Answer 4

Sandwiches have been around since the stone age, basically once you can make bread (even unleavened - which comes first in most cultures) you are more than likely to put something in between two bits and eat it.

The name comes from the 4th Earl Sandwich - his friend Gibbon (of decline and fall) writing that the group of friends refered to eating meat in bread as a "Sandwich" since that's what the Earl did to keep his hands clean. It's just a tease/joke that has stuck.

Note: The stone age people age were hunters and gatherers and could not have made a bread nor was it present in the neolithic age.

ANSWER:

The word sandwich both as etymology and its use emerges from the medieval market town Sandwich that was one of the Cinque ports founded by the Roman times when flat bread was baked (pitta)and after the Norman conquest became important centers for ships and people but later became useless due to recession in the 16 C records eateries near the port that sold flat roman bread by placing some filling between bread loaves slices for sailors & soldiers leaving the ports when baked filling bread was not available and acquired the word Sandwichfor the typical sliced bread with filling served .

However the word as been associated with John Montagu, 4 th Earl of Sandwich (1718-92) an inept corrupt British politician and first lord of the Amirality between 1771-82 for getting a similar bread cut in neat slices with filling during his play so that he would not have to leave the gaming table.

Answer 5

We must make an educated guess on this one. Bread has been around for over 30,000 years, but leavened bread, made with yeast, only started in 300 BC in Egypt. Conceivably, humans have been stuffing items between two pieces of bread and eating it all together since then. However, the name "sandwich" didn't come about until the 18th century in Europe. The word sandwich that we use today originated in London during the very late hours one night in 1762 when an English nobleman, John Montagu (1718-1792), the Fourth Earl of Sandwich, was too busy gambling to stop for a meal even though he was hungry. It is claimed

Answer 6

The sandwich was named after the Earl of Sandwich in 1762 .The story goes he ordered his valet to bring him meat tucked between two pieces of bread. A few months later a man named Edward Gibbon mentioned the sandwich in a diary entry that he had seen people in a restaurant eating them. The sandwich didn't come to the colonies with the English and it doesn't show up in American cookbooks until 1815. The reason why the sandwich wasn't popular in the colonies was it maybe because it was named after a British peer. Something Americans wanted to get away from.
