History of Sandwiches

There are many sandwich origin stories, but the name ‘sandwich’ came about in 1762. As one story goes, John Montagu (aka 4th Earl of Sandwich) was playing a card game and didn’t want to stop for lunch so he asked for roast beef between two slices of bread to keep his hands free to continue playing. Although sandwiches have been eaten for thousands of years, they weren’t called ‘sandwiches’ until 1762.

Growing up, I didn’t love cold sandwiches and maybe that’s because my Mom didn’t major in sandwiches. She never made them because they weren’t a common way to serve food growing up in Ukraine. I remember the first time my Grandpa had a sandwich in America, he disassembled it and ate it separately. All the kids thought that was funny but he probably thought we were the odd ones.

Shrimp Sandwiches (aka Easy Entertaining)

I love that there is no cooking required with this recipe, especially if you buy pre-cooked shrimp which is so tempting when the temperatures outside are climbing into the 100’s! Use a colorful variety of tomatoes to prettify your platter. Lining everything up and allowing guests to build their own sandwiches is really an easy way to entertain and it keeps things interesting. If you’re really pressed for time, you can even use a selection of good cold cuts, salami, etc and cut your prep time in half!
