Number 3

The Almighty Sandwich

Who invented the sandwich and when remains a matter for debate

Let’s take a closer look at what lies between the layers

Brief History of the Sandwich

The 4th Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu (1718 - 1792) is said to have eaten salted meat

and bread during his distinguished naval career

According to food historian Solomon Katz, he may have first

coined the term

The Evolution of the SandwichThe Dutch added the butter and the

sandwich soon increased in popularity in Europe and beyond.

Later, when the Industrial Revolution got underway, it became a convenient and

portable snack for the workforce

The Evolution of the Sandwich

The earliest concept of the sandwich belongs to Neolithic times when meat and herbs were wrapped in

unleavened bread.

The Middle Ages saw slabs of bread (trenchers) used to soak up food, the idea caught on among the

aristocracy as a late night snack

What’s in a Sandwich

The Open Sandwich

- evolved from the medieval trencher. While there are many interesting interpretations of the open model, none of them are technically sandwiches which need two slices of bread around an enclosed filling.

The Club Sandwich

- was first mentioned in print in 1903, and consisted of three toasted layers, including chicken, lettuce, mayonnaise, tomato and bacon. The name may have come from an earlier two-layered version matching the two-decker railway "club" cars running in the US at the time

The BLT

(bacon, lettuce & tomato) - a variant of the club sandwich originating in North America

The Dagwood

- many layered and overstuffed, as preferred by the USA character of the same name in the filmstrip "Blondie" first portrayed in 1936.

The Submarine or Torpedo

- originated in the southern states of USA and is of substantial cylindrical design, made of French bread and various fillings which aimed to satisfy the appetite of the poor.

Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches

- popular in American Delis and elsewhere
