The sandwich originates from John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich (1718 – 92). According to the legend he was a hard gambler and even if he was hungry, he did not stop his gambling to have a proper meal. Instead he asked the waiter to serve him some meat between two slices of bread. In that way he could continue his card playing and satisfy his hunger without soiling the cards.
