Sandwiches are one of the most common snacks in the world. Much like the word ‘OK’, ‘sandwich’ can also be understood easily almost everywhere.

Today, when someone asks “do you want a sandwich”, you know what it means – it’s basically two pieces of bread with some filling between them.

Fun facts about the word ‘Sandwich’!

• This popular snack takes its name from the 4th Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu.
• An ‘earl’ is a title used for a noble or lord who rules over a piece of land.
• ‘Sandwich’ is the town this earl ruled over; it is located in England.
• The 4th Earl of Sandwich lived about 250 years ago.
• The story goes that Earl was very fond of playing card games.
• In fact, he enjoyed playing so much that he didn’t want to leave the game to go eat his meals.
• So, he asked his servants to bring him the cooked beef served between 2 slices of bread.
• This let him play the game and eat at the same time without his hands getting dirty and spoiling the cards.
• Observing him, his friends also started asking for “the same as Sandwich”.
• So ‘sandwich’ came to mean what it does today.
• Of course, people ate bread with meat and cheese before this but the word ‘sandwich’ became popular after this.
