Well, so it is said (if I recall) that the busy Earl of Sandwich was out on a hunting trip and wanted convenience food. By placing hunks of beef between two wedges of bread, the "sandwich" was born.
Of course folks in other parts of the world have been using flatbreads for the same purpose for millenia--pita serves as an edible plate. |
