Etymology

13. History of the sandwich
1st Century B.C. - The
first recorded sandwich
was by the famous rabbi,
Hillel the Elder, who
lived during the 1st
century B.C. He started
the custom of
sandwiching a mixture of
chopped nuts, apples,
spices, and wine between

14. 6th to 16th Century
Meats and other foods were
piled on top of the bread to be
eaten with their fingers and
sometimes with the aid of
knives. The trenchers, thick
and stale, absorbed the juice,
the grease, and the sauces. At
the end of the meal, if hunger
had been satisfied, tossed the
gravy-soaked bread to their
dogs or given as alms to less
fortunate or poor human. Alms
were clothing, food, or money
that is given to poor people.
In the past, people thought it
was their religious duty to
give alms to the poor.
Trenchers were clearly the
forerunner of our open-face
sandwiches.

15. The first written usage of the English word
appeared in Edward Gibbon's journal, in
longhand, referring to "bits of cold meat"
as a 'Sandwich'. It was named after John
Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, an 18th-
century English aristocrat. Montague was a
hardened gambler and usually gambled for
hours at a time at this restaurant,
sometimes refusing to get up even for
meals. It is said that he ordered his valet to
bring him meat tucked between two pieces
of bread, and because Montagu also
happened to be the Fourth Earl of
Sandwich, others began to order "the same
as Sandwich!" It is said that Lord
Sandwich was fond of this form of food
because it allowed him to continue playing
cards, particularly cribbage, while eating
without getting his cards greasy from
eating meat with his bare hands.

16. 1900’s
The sandwich became very popular in
the American diet when bakeries
started selling pre-sliced bread, thus
making sandwiches very easy to
create. Sandwiches became an easy,
portable meal for workers and school
children alike.
