What year was the sandwich invented?
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
