Mr Sheffield was overwhelmed at how well his decision to employ people had worked out and he had a habit of eating sandwhich style meat as kind of a hobby (of course then it wasn't refered to as 'sandwhich meat') The people working for him decided that in order to satisfy there employer further they would combine his two favourite things, both a loaf and meat.
Originally they placed the meat in a loaf, making the meat to wheat ratio way out; Sheffield noticed this and quickly corrected it ensuring that the meat outweighed the bread by a substantial amount.
Your result, the sandwhich.
