November 3 is a special date in time, that is if you eat sandwiches. The man who supposedly invented the special method of eating bread and meat, was born on this day.

His name was John Montague, the 4th Earl of Sandwich. an English explorer and diplomat. He was born way back in 1718.

It is said that he ordered his valet to bring him meat tucked between two pieces of bread, and others began to order "the same as Sandwich!"

 

It is commonly said that Lord Sandwich was fond of this form of food because it allowed him to continue playing cards while eating, without using a fork, and without getting his cards greasy from eating meat with his bare hands.

During my lifetime, I have enjoyed the simplest form of this creation, called the life saving cheese sandwich, to the most complex versions at various sandwich shops trying to recreate it in some way.

I have eaten in the fanciest and priciest restaurants, but the best meal I've ever had was the sandwich made by mom that I found inside my lunch box at grade school. Thanks John!
