The Sandwich Celebrates 250th Birthday(13th May, 2012)
The sandwich is 250 years old this weekend and residents in the English town of
Sandwich, where the bread meal was first eaten, are celebrating their culinary
history. According to the town’s records the English nobleman Earl, John Montague
first ordered a sandwich in 1762. It is reported he was playing cards with friends
and wanted something he could eat without a knife and fork. He requested slices of
beef between two pieces of bread, and so the sandwich was born. Montague chose
to live in Sandwich over another port town, Portsmouth. Had he chosen the latter,
we would be eating portsmouths today. It is perhaps a coincidence Sandwich is just
a few kilometres from the town of Ham.
The 11th Earl of Sandwich, also named John Montagu, hosted a celebratory lunch in
honour of his ancestor and his contribution to the global fast food industry. He told
reporters: “My ancestor…could never have imagined that his simple invention would
spawn a multi-billion dollar industry, employing hundreds of thousands of people."
He added: "My favourite sandwich is a traditional one - roast beef and hot
horseradish on freshly baked bread.” Organisers of the celebrations are equally
excited about the historic event. Mandy Wilkins said: “The sandwich is a global food
and Sandwich, our town, is just a little town full of medieval buildings. It's bizarre
that such an important food item should be named after us.”
