Sandwiches
Sandwiches (pronunciation: /ˈsænˌwɪtʃ/ or /ˈsænˌwɪdʒ/) are a popular type of food consisting of one or more types of food, such as vegetables, sliced cheese or meat, placed on or between slices of bread, or more generally any dish wherein two or more pieces of bread serve as a container or wrapper for another food type. The sandwich began as a portable finger food in the Western world, though over time it has become prevalent worldwide.
Etymology
The term sandwich is derived from the name of the 18th-century English aristocrat John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich. He is said to have ordered his valet to bring him meat tucked between two pieces of bread, and others began to order "the same as Sandwich!"
