Why do they call a sndwich a sandwich?!
its not made of sand and its not a wich so why do they call it that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
A sandwich is called a sandwich because:
The sandwich was named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, an 18th-century English aristocrat, although it is unlikely to have been invented by him!. It is said that Lord Sandwich was fond of this form of food because it allowed him to continue playing cards at cribbage while eating, because he did not want to get his cards sticky, from eating meat with his bare hands!. The name of the earldom comes from that of the English village of Sandwich in Kent—from the Old English Sandwic, meaning "sand place"!. Nowadays some types of sandwich are too unwieldy to be held in one hand, thus defeating Montagu's original purpose, and must be eaten with a knife and fork, or at least with both hands!. In some countries it is considered proper always to use cutlery to eat sandwiches!.

One theory is:
In the middle of the night an English Baron was hungry, so he went to the kitchen in search of food!.
There he found only meat and bread!. The meat was greasy, so he placed it on the bread and ate it!.
The man was the Earl of Sandwich!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sandwiches were named after the Earl of Sandwiche who refused to leave a game of cards at his gentlemens club when he was hungry and requested that some slices of beef be brought to him between slices of bread, the name stuck and so we have sandwiches!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
This may sound made up but I swear it's true!. It was created by a guy known as the Earl of Sandwich!. I think he was the ruler of the sandwich islands!. I swear it's true!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
