lazygourmet Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 From John Montagu aka Lord Sandwich, who discovered and gave his name to an archipelago in Pacific Ocean. Legend says that he created that "snack" during that trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaigerd Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Correct! It was the First Earl of Sandwich((1718-1792), well known for heavy gambling, never had time for a proper meal and his chefs created the "Sandwich" for him. Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
