Sandwiches are great for breakfast, (especially) lunch, or dinner because they are easy to make and are often an assemble-your-own type of meal. This also makes them a great choice for easy entertaining. This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.
History of Sandwiches
There are many sandwich origin stories, but the name ‘sandwich’ came about in 1762. As one story goes, John Montagu (aka 4th Earl of Sandwich) was playing a card game and didn’t want to stop for lunch so he asked for roast beef between two slices of bread to keep his hands free to continue playing. Although sandwiches have been eaten for thousands of years, they weren’t called ‘sandwiches’ until 1762. Growing up, I didn’t love cold sandwiches and maybe that’s because my Mom didn’t major in sandwiches. She never made them because they weren’t a common way to serve food growing up in Ukraine. I remember the first time my Grandpa had a sandwich in America, he disassembled it and ate it separately. All the kids thought that was funny but he probably thought we were the odd ones.
