National Sandwich Day stacks up as a fantastic special occasion

On top of being the day we find out election results, Nov. 3 is National Sandwich Day. Sandwiches are the chameleon of food. Just about each special diet or type of cuisine offers some kind of sandwich. This is the perfect day to try out a sandwich.

Exactly why we celebrate November 3 as National Sandwich Day

National Mustard Day and International Beer Day are not like National Sandwich day. National Sandwich day has a place in history. The fourth Earl of Sandwich has a birthday on November 3. The first sandwich had been made by John Montagu, or the fourth Earl. The food could be acknowledged for any reason, so it doesn't hurt to recognize the gambling binge that Earl of Sandwich went on which led to the first "real" sandwich as he requested his meat between two slices of bread.

How sandwiches have transformed

A standard sandwich, by most reckonings, has to contain just a couple of things. Two slices of bread could be needed. There may also have to be a filling in the middle. Within the United States, there is one really popular sandwich. The hamburger is this. Fast food and high cuisine all consist of different kinds of sandwiches you can purchase. There had been even a sandwich challenge in numerous Television shows. Food Network's "The Next Food Network Star" and Bravo's "Top Chef" are both included in this. As a chef, you will have to know how for making great steak. Making a good sandwich is just as important though.

National Sandwich Day left with possibilities

You will find a ton of opportunities for sandwiches, if you like a hamburger better or a peanut butter and jelly. Would you like to know what things like the KFC Double Down and the Philly Taco are like without tasting them yourself? The NPR blog "Wait Wait don't Tell Me" gives great reviews on the Sandwich Monday posts. Either way, try a new sandwich today, and raise your stacked lunch to the fourth Earl of Sandwich.
