Sandwich is a town in the county of Kent, England. The idea of having food between two slices of bread is supposed to come from the 4th Earl of Sandwich who took his food this way so that he could carry on playing cards while he ate. Historians debate whether or not this is true. Captain James T Cook named what we now call Hawaii "The Sandwich Islands" because the Earl of Sandwich was one of the sponsors of his voyage of discovery.
