"Sandwich"
"Sandwich" - cuisine / etymology / history -
The word "sandwich" ultimately derives from Sandwich, a town in south-east England (whose name means "market town on sandy soil" in Anglo-Saxon). In the 18th century, John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, became popularly known for his habit of eating quick meals of salted beef between two slices of bread. Though the concept of a meal wrapped in bread was historically nothing new, the scandalous idea of an aristocrat eating with his hands may be responsible for the association between Sandwich and sandwiches.
