Why sandwich is popular?

Answer 1

The sandwich was invented by the English Earl of Sandwich who was such an inveterate gambler that he did not want to leave the tables even for meals. He slapped meat on bread and continued gambling. The meal became a habit and the meal was named after him. Sandwiches are a simple and nutritious portable meal. They can be made of anything that will fit between two pieces of bread. The bread may be anything that is relatively dry such as tortillas, pita, or even broad leaf lettuce. The advantage of a sandwich concoction is that it involves no silverware and does not require a dish from which to eat. While the traditional sandwich involves a meat filling, current trends include any type of protein, including nuts, nut butters, fish, beans, or poultry. Because of the ease of preparation, they are a favorite of the thrifty minded lunch maker. Since experimentation is a good thing, try making a cheese and pineapple sandwich or peanut butter and banana sandwich. Both are nutritious and with a glass of milk are complete meals.

Answer 2

A sandwich is an easy way to create a complete meal. However, you have to be mindful of the ingredients so that it is a healthy sized meal with ingredients that will help sustain you through the hours to the next meal.

• Use whole grain bread rather than bread where the first ingredient includes the word "enriched." You never can fake the good stuff. Twelve grain bread, sandwich thins, pita bread and flat bread are usually good choices. Or, you can use lettuce leaves.
• Add protein, preferably unprocessed meats, egg, peanut butter (2 -3 T is okay) or tuna. Avoid high fat bologna, salami or sausage, which can have high amounts of saturated fats and salt.
• You can use a moderate amount of mayonnaise, ketchup or vinegar/oil without harm
• Add fresh vegetables for variety and flavor, not to mention vitamins. I like lettuce, spinach leaves, tomato, cucumber slices (add crunch), and green pepper. A small amount of spreadable mashed avocado or chick peas may work for you, too.
• One to two ounces (1 slice) of cheese is reasonable
• Chicken and cucumber sandwiches are yummy for work; peanut butter and jelly (1-2 t) will keep you going through the afternoon.
• Variety is the spice of life.

Answer

Sandwiches aren't necessarily always healthy. Depending on the bread, it can be an overload of carbohydrates. Use whole grain bread for more vitamins and fiber instead of bleached wonderbread or Croissants.

It mostly depends, though, on the toppings. If you use moderate portions, don't pile on the condiments, use plenty of veggies, and drink water with it, your sandwich shouldn't be all that bad.

If you use canned vegetables, like olives or marinated artichoke hearts, drain them first because they have a lot of salt.

Don't eat massive portions, and your sandwich can be the perfect meal.
