A funny version of the sandwich’s origin is the story of the Englishman John Montague, the fourth Earl of Sandwich. According to a well–known story, he loved playing cards very much – so much so that he could sit for a long time at gaming tables in pubs in London. One day, in 1762, the game lasted for a whole day, and since it was difficult to play cards and eat at the table with a knife and fork at the same time, the earl asked the cook to serve him two pieces of toasted bread with a slice of roast beef between them. Thus, he could hold the cards with one hand and eat with the other. It was a very convenient solution and since then the sandwich has begun its victorious march around the world. But this is just a popular legend.
The earl invented the sandwich to be able to eat cheap right while working on serious projects, so as not to take precious time away from hard work. After all, he was a member of the English Parliament and even took part in the preparation of Captain Cook’s round-the-world expedition in 1778. As a result of that expedition, the Hawaiian Islands were discovered, which were originally named after the Earl of Sandwich – the Sandwich Islands. But Earl of Sandwich did not play cards and considered the card game a stupid and pointless waste of time. In addition, he simply did not have money for card games. Due to lack of money, he invented inexpensive food convenient for his work.
