The Invention of the Sandwich

The Earl of Sandwich lived in the XVIII century. He liked playing cards for money and often played day and night. Once he played for 24 hours straight. His servants brought him food - some meat and some bread. The Earl did not want to stop playing while he ate, so he put some meat between two pieces of bread. In this way, he could play without stopping for eating. From the name of this man, the word Sandwich came into being.
