Friday, November 3.
National Sandwich Day.
In the 18th Century, a British earl named John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, visited the Eastern Mediterranean. Here, he was captivated by the sight of Greeks and Turks assembling, and then eating, sliced meats within two slices of bread. Montagu would replicate this marvel on his return to the United Kingdom, in need of a meal he could enjoy with one hand and leave the other free for 24-hour gambling streaks. Years later, the #sandwich became a gastronomic staple. And the rest, as they say, is history.
It is the TARDIS of food. Meats, cheeses, salads, vegetables, sauces, spreads, herbs, and spices all arranged with deceptive simplicity between two slices of bread. Join us this Friday, November 3, as we celebrate US National Sandwich Day—and doth our collective caps to the Greeks and Turks to whom the world owes so much.
