Sandwich History
A sandwich is a food item, often consisting of two or more slices of bread with one or more fillings between them, or one slice of bread with a topping or toppings, commonly called an open sandwich. Sandwiches are a widely popular type of lunch food, typically taken to work or school, or picnics to be eaten as part of a packed lunch. They generally contain a combination of salad vegetables, meat, cheese, and a variety of sauces. The bread can be used as it is, or it can be coated with any condiments to enhance flavor and texture. They are widely sold in restaurants and cafes.
Bread has been eaten with any meat or vegetables since Neolithic times. During the Middle Ages, thick slabs of coarse and usually stale bread, called “trenchers”, were used as plates. After a meal, the food-soaked trencher was fed to a dog or to beggars, or eaten by the diner. Trenchers were the precursors of open-face sandwiches.
The immediate cultural precursor with a direct connection to the English sandwich was to be found in the Netherlands of the 17th century, where the naturalist John Ray observed that in the taverns beef hung from the rafters “which they cut into thin slices and eat with bread and butter laying the slices upon the butter”— explanatory specifications that reveal the Dutch belegde broodje was as yet unfamiliar in England.

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, particularly cribbage, while eating without getting his cards greasy from eating meat with his bare hands. This was the forerunner of the club sandwich,
Sandwich Types
Today sandwiches are big business and one of the worlds most popular meals, the most famous sandwich being the Hamburger.
In England the sandwich follows the 4th Earl of Sandwich’s design with a filling between 2 pieces of sliced bread. In Europe sandwiches are usually open and baguettes are closed and replace the English sandwich.
A vast variety, buns and baguettes are used to make and endless variety of sandwiches
Bacon sandwich
A bacon sandwich (also bacon sarnie, bacon butty/buttie, bacon bap, bacon barm or bacon cob (UK) and bacon sanger or piece ‘n bacon (Scotland) ) is a form of sandwich made from cooked bacon between two slices of bread, usually buttered. Often some form of sauce, such as tomato ketchup or brown sauce, is included.
Bacon sandwiches are an all-day favourite throughout the United Kingdom. Rarely found on the menus of high class restaurants, they are often served in greasy spoons. Other ingredients such as sausage, cheese, fried or scrambled eggs, mushroom and baked beans are often added.
Australian hamburger shops sell a bacon sandwich, which is made much like a traditional Australian hamburger with fried bacon, fried onions, lettuce, tomato, tinned beetroot and barbecue sauce or tomato sauce. In some establishments the sandwich will be constructed on slices of bread, which are toasted on only one side, while other establishments serve it on the same roll (bun) as is used for hamburgers.
Club sandwich
A club sandwich, also called a clubhouse sandwich or double-decker, is a sandwich with two layers of fillings between 3 slices of bread. It is often cut into quarters and held together by cocktail sticks.
The traditional club ingredients are turkey on the bottom layer, and bacon, lettuce, and tomato on the top, sometimes specifically named a turkey club. Other common club sandwiches generally vary the bottom layer, for example a “chicken club” or a “roast beef club”. Variations might include ham (instead of bacon), egg and/or additional cheese slices. As with a BLT sandwich, the club sandwich is usually served on toasted bread. Mayonnaise and mustard and sometimes honey mustard are common condiments.
It is thought that the club sandwich was invented in an exclusive Saratoga Springs, New York, gambling club in the late 19th century by a maverick line cook named Danny Mears.
The sandwich is known to have appeared on US restaurant menus as far back as 1899
BLT (sandwich)
The BLT (bacon, lettuce, and tomato) is a type of bacon sandwich. The BLT traditionally has several strips of well-cooked or even crispy bacon, leaves of lettuce (traditionally iceberg or romaine), and slices of tomato, layered between slices of bread (commonly toasted). Mayonnaise is the traditional condiment for the BLT.
BLT sandwiches are believed to have descended from late Victorian era tea sandwiches. Between 1930 and 1950, cookbooks typically listed cheese as an ingredient.
Bruschetta (sandwich)
Bruschetta is a hearty appetizer from central Italy whose origin dates to at least the 15th century. It consists of grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Variations may include toppings of spicy red pepper, tomato, vegetables, beans, cured meat, and/or cheese; the most popular recipe outside of Italy involves basil, fresh tomato, garlic and onion or mozzarella. Bruschetta is usually served as a snack or appetizer. In Italy, Bruschetta is often prepared using a brustolina grill. In the Abruzzo region of Italy a variation of bruschetta called ventricina is served. Raw pork products and spices encased in pig vesicles are aged and the paste spread on open slices of bread which are sometimes grilled. This was a way of salvaging bread that was going stale.
Sausage sandwich
A sausage sandwich is a sandwich containing cooked sausage. Outside the United Kingdom, it generally consists of an oblong bread roll such as a baguette or ciabatta roll, and sliced or whole links of sausage, such as hot or sweet Italian sausage, Polish sausage, German sausage (knackwurst, weisswurst, bratwurst, bockwurst), Mediterranean merguez, American andouille or Spanish chorizo. Popular toppings include mustard, brown sauce, peppers, onions, sauerkraut, chili, salsa, and tomato sauce.
In the UK, sausage sandwiches can typically be found in greasy spoons (workers’ cafés) and many roadside food stalls.
It is a breakfast favourite although it may be purchased and consumed at any time of the day. It is typically served between two pieces of white bread with red sauce, brown sauce or no sauce at all.
Bagels
A bagel is a bread product, traditionally shaped by hand into the form of a ring from yeasted wheat dough, roughly hand-sized, which is first boiled for a short time in water and then baked. The result is a dense, chewy, doughy interior with a browned and sometimes crisp exterior. Bagels are often topped with seeds baked on the outer crust, with the traditional ones being poppy or sesame seeds. Some also may have salt sprinkled on their surface, and there are also a number of different dough types such as whole-grain or rye.
Jam sandwich
am Sandwiches are composed normally of two slices of bread, butter or margarine, and jam (traditionally strawberry) which is normally consumed at lunchtime or as a quick “snack.
Jam Sandwiches are thought to originate at around the 19th Century, in the United Kingdom as an affordable food which was mainly consumed by the lower/working class people of cities such as London. The plausible reason that most lower/working class people consumed this as a major part of their diets is that it was the ingredients that it is made from cost little to manufacture and due to taxes being lifted on sugar in 1880, became widely available as a cheap foodstuff. Today in the 21st century jam sandwiches are mainly consumed by children and shops do not often sell individual jam sandwiches.
Crisp sandwich
A crisp sandwich (in British English), chip sandwich, chipwich or potato chip sandwich (in North American or Australian English) is a sandwich which includes crisps (potato chips) as one of the fillings. In addition to the crisps, the other ingredients may be peanut butter, meat, cheese, tuna, ham, bologna, tomato, cucumber, or any other common sandwich ingredient. While some people consider crisp sandwiches to be a low-end food,[1] there is at least one celebrity who admits to eating them.[2] Some people consider a sandwich without crisps to not be worth the effort.[3] Potato chip sandwiches are sometimes referred to as “trailer park cuisine”.[4]
To create a crisp sandwich, a thin layer of overlapping crisps is placed on the sandwich so as to augment, but not overpower, the sandwich’s main filling. Another variation of the crisp sandwich is made entirely of bread, mayonnaise and crisps.[4] In place of mayonnaise, salad cream or cream cheese can also be used, especially in the United Kingdom. Wraps may be used instead of conventional bread. A plain crisp sandwich with only bread and crisps is a popular version.
Chip butty
A chip sandwich, chip barm, chip cob, chip butty (in British English), piece-n-chips (in Scottish English) or french fry sandwich (in North American English) is a sandwich made with bread or bread roll (usually white and buttered) and chips, often with some sort of sauce such as tomato sauce (i.e. ketchup) or brown sauce.[1] It was originally considered a working-class meal, served in pubs. The chip butty is a vegetarian-friendly dish (except when the chips are, as was traditional in a British chip shop, fried in lard or dripping). It is more common in the north of England than the south.
A football chant (sung to “Annie’s Song” by John Denver) called “The Greasy Chip Butty Song” is popular with the supporters of Sheffield United Football Club.
Variants include chip bap or barm, using a floury bap or barm cake instead of white sliced.
The Hot Chip Sanga is also a popular name for the dish in Australia. It is popular for Australians to go and buy a loaf of a bread and a parcel of chips, where they then make the meal.
Another variation in the North is the Scollop Butty where the chips are battered before frying.
