National Sandwich Day

On November 3rd, the world celebrates National Sandwich Day. But did you know that the sandwich has a long and interesting history? Let’s explore the origins of the sandwich and learn how to celebrate this special day in style.

The earliest known reference to a sandwich dates back to 1762 when an English aristocrat named John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, ordered his servants to bring him some beef between two pieces of bread so he could eat without having to leave his card table. The meal proved so popular among his guests that it soon became known as “the Sandwich” and spread throughout Europe and eventually across the Atlantic Ocean to America.

One great way to celebrate National Sandwich Day is by making your own sandwich! Get creative by using different kinds of bread (pita pocket, French roll, bagel) or experimenting with new ingredients (avocado slices, caramelized onions). If you don’t feel like making your own sandwich at home, why not order something special from a local deli or sandwich shop? You can also visit your favorite restaurant on November 3rd for specials on sandwiches and other delicious foods – many establishments offer discounts on days like National Sandwich Day so be sure to check ahead!
