About National Sandwich Month
United States
Ends: Aug 31, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
NATIONAL SANDWICH MONTH: HONORING AN ICONIC CULINARY STAPLE
Every August, Americans celebrate National Sandwich Month, a tribute to one of the most versatile and beloved food items. Created by a predecessor to the North American Millers Association during the mid-20th century, National Sandwich Month aims to raise awareness about the diversity and convenience of sandwiches, encouraging people to explore new recipes and appreciate this culinary staple. The celebration also supports local delis, cafes, and restaurants by highlighting their unique sandwich offerings and inspiring creativity in sandwich-making at home.
HISTORY OF THE SANDWICH
Hillel the Elder, a rabbi who lived in the first century BCE, created the first sandwich. He chopped nuts, apples, spices, and wine and placed 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 between two bread slices. Soon after, his gambling mates also ordered "the same as Sandwich."
THE ORIGINAL TO-GO FOOD
People eat sandwiches for many reasons. They are easy to prepare, portable, and customizable, making them suitable for any meal of the day. Sandwiches can range from simple and quick to elaborate and gourmet, catering to diverse tastes and dietary preferences. Their versatility makes them a favorite for busy individuals looking for a convenient meal and for food enthusiasts seeking to experiment with flavors and ingredients.
National Sandwich Month is important because it celebrates this culinary classic and its role in our daily lives. It encourages people to discover new types of sandwiches and appreciate the creativity involved in their preparation. The event also supports local businesses by spotlighting their sandwich offerings, which can help attract customers and boost sales.
Participating eateries will host various events throughout August, including sandwich-making contests, cooking demonstrations, and special promotions. These activities aim to engage food lovers and celebrate the joy of creating and enjoying sandwiches.
