Sandwich Day honors one of the oldest methods of serving food, the sandwich.
The first recorded sandwich was made by Hillel the Elder, a rabbi who lived in the first century BC. He chopped nuts, apples, spices, and wine, placing the paste between two matzoh flatbreads. His is the first known version of this popular meal. This dish, the Hillel sandwich, is still served during Passover.
The term "sandwich" was first recorded in 1762 by the English author Edward Gibbons. The cooks at London's Beef Steak Club, a gaming club, invented the bread-flanked sandwich we know today.
The word sandwich is the namesake of Lord John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich (1718-1792). An avid gambler, he took his meals at the card table. Whenever he was hungry, his servants would bring him cold cuts placed between two slices of bread. Soon after, his gambling mates also ordered "the same as Sandwich."
Lord Montagu was born before the switch from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar. This day, November 3, corresponds to his birthday in the Julian calendar of November 13, 1718.
