1 week agoThe 12 Most Iconic Italian-American Sandwiches - Tasting Table
Italian-American sandwiches are distinct creations, not traditional Italian, reflecting the adaptation of Italian cuisine in America.
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.
A perfect sandwich is something truly magical. Hot or cold, with the perfect bread, the ideal filling-to-bread ratio, and just the right amount of sauces, drizzle, or gravy to hold the whole thing together, it doesn't get much better than that. There's a good chance that you may have thanked the Earl of Sandwich for being so engrossed in a day-long gaming session that he called for that first, iconic sandwich creation to be made... only, that's not actually the first sandwich ever.
