Sandwich Day of 2018
The ultimate in convenient food and one of the most beloved food around the world, it is no surprise that the humble sandwich has it own day.
• Sandwich Day History
There exists a well-known history of Sandwich which is especially attributed to John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich.
Some says Sandwich is a city in the shire of Kent in England, and the word was originally spelled as sondwic, and later sandwic and in 1086 as Sandwich.The name of the town came from its purpose and its claim to fame, it was a market town. So what Sandwich actually mean is “Market Town on Sandy Soil”.
John Montagu was the 4th Earl of this town, a royal title that essentially means ‘chieftain’ and placed them in charge of a territory in the King’s stead.John was a well a known lover of card games, and it’s said he originally ordered his meat to be delivered to him between two slices of bread so that he would not get his grease laden fingers on the card, nor require a fork to eat.
As people heard of this, they started ordering their food “The Same as Sandwich”, and eventually just “a sandwich”.
• Origin of Sandwich Day
We know a lot about the sandwich how it was created and who it was named for. We did not find any information on who created Sandwich Day, or when this special day was first celebrated.
We are certainly grateful for the sandwich, and agree it deserves this special day of recognition!
