When you are hungry, and there are no snacks at home, what do you do? Reach out for two slices of bread, put whatever you can find on one slice, cover it with the other and eat it. Right? Yes, the sandwich is one of the most versatile dishes ever invented and it is for this reason that there is now a day (World Sandwich Day on November 3) to honour it.
Story
Did you know that the sandwich has a history? Its story goes back to 1762. John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich was an avid gambler and did not like to leave the table for his meal. He told his servants to bring him meat between two slices of bread, so he could eat with one hand and play with the other hand. Also, there was no need for cutlery. Seeing this, his friends began to order “What Sandwich is having” and the name of the dish became ‘sandwich’. The sandwich soon gained popularity. It was convenient and could be carried around easily and you could use any filling you wanted. So here are two popular sandwich recipes that you can make for yourself.
Tomato and cucumber sandwich
Open egg sandwich
