National Sandwich Day

National Sandwich Day is on November the 3rd every year. It is, of course, a celebration of one of the world’s first convenience foods. The sandwich is also one of the world’s most commonly eaten foods. November the 3rd is the birthday of the inventor of the sandwich, a British aristocrat called John Montagu. He was connected to the UK’s royal family and had the title the Earl of Sandwich. The story goes that one day in the 18th century, he asked his servants for something he could eat with one hand. He was in the middle of a 24-hour gambling session. His cook served him some meat in between two pieces of bread. And that’s how the sandwich came about. Curiously, the town of Sandwich is next to another town called Ham.
