November 3rd is Sandwich Day! This day is a celebration of one of America’s favorite foods and lunchtime snacks: the sandwich! While most of our thoughts when eating our favorite sandwich are usually how delicious it is, there’s actually quite a bit of history that goes into them.
.
The story is told that Montagu was an extreme gambler and would tell his servants to put meat between two slices of bread so he could it with one hand during a 24-hour gambling game. Thanks to him, the beloved sandwich was born.
People take their love of sandwiches real seriously. In 2013, a California man was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter for killing a businessman who laughed at him when the pastrami fell out of his sandwich. Looks like you better keep that laugh to yourself next time someone’s’ poor sandwich falls to the floor.
