When was the sandwich invented?
The first English usage of the word appeared in Edward Gibbon’s journal, referring to “bits of cold meat” as a ‘Sandwich’, named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, an 18th-century English aristocrat. It’s said that Lord Sandwich was fond of this food because it allowed him to continue playing cards while eating, without getting his cards greasy. (Source: Wikipedia.
