History buffs may know the original sandwich came in 1762 from a Englishman named John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich - a title created long before his invention involving meat and bread. It wasn't an enterprising spirit giving rise to this now everyday food, rather a matter of personal convenience. Montagu reportedly had roast beef placed between two slices of bread so he could continue playing cards without using utensils, inadvertently launching a new way of eating which eventually incorporated his Earl of Sandwich title.
