Teach Asian students about Foreign Culture. The history of Sandwiches.

1. The ancient Jews is said to have wrapped meat from the
Paschal lamb and bitter herbs between two pieces of old-
fashioned soft matzah, flat, unleavened bread, during
Passover in the manner of a modern sandwich wrap made
with flatbread. Flat breads of only slightly varying kinds
have long been used to scoop or wrap small amounts of
food en route from platter to mouth throughout Western
Asia and Northern Africa. From Morocco to Ethiopia to
India, bread is baked in flat rounds, contrasting with the
European loaf tradition.

2. The first written usage of the English word appeared in Edward Gibbon’s
journal, in longhand, referring to "bits of cold meat" as a "Sandwich". It was
named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, an 18th-century English
aristocrat, although he was neither the inventor nor sustainer of the food. It
is said that he ordered his valet to bring him meat tucked between two pieces
of bread, and because Montagu also happened to be the Fourth Earl of
Sandwich, others began to order "the same as Sandwich!" It is said that Lord
Sandwich was fond of this form of food because it allowed him to continue
playing cards, while eating without getting his cards greasy from eating meat
with his bare hands.
