The History of the sandwich can be traced back as far as the Middle Ages. Slabs of bread were used instead of plates, they were called ‘trenchers’ and were fed to dogs or beggars afterwards. Is this possibly were the Open sandwich came from? The other connection to what we now know as the sandwich is from the Netherlands in the 17th century when taverns would serve up meat layered on bread and butter.
However the inventor of the sandwich is widely perceived as the Earl of Sandwich in the 18th century. During this time men liked to eat supper whilst playing cards, the Earl developed the ‘sandwich’ as a method of eating whilst still holding onto his cards. He placed cooked meat between two slices of bread and since then the sandwich has been pretty much unchanged. The Victorians removed the crusts and later in Scandinavia and the USA the invention of the filled roll appeared. In the 20th century we such the introduction of the club sandwich and the ‘sub’ (sandwich using a French stick).
It is now an everyday feature in the Western world, and to think that only 250 years ago it didn’t even exist! It is now one of the most popular snack foods next to crisps!
