"A perfect sandwich is something truly magical. Hot or cold, with the perfect bread, the ideal filling-to-bread ratio, and just the right amount of sauces, drizzle, or gravy to hold the whole thing together, it doesn't get much better than that. There's a good chance that you may have thanked the Earl of Sandwich for being so engrossed in a day-long gaming session that he called for that first, iconic sandwich creation to be made... only, that's not actually the first sandwich ever."
"The first time the word appeared in print was in 1762, but we could go back to Israel (around about 110 BC) and see people eating sandwiches. Specifically, we're talking about the Korech, a still-popular Passover dish that's made with bitter herbs between unleavened matzo. It's a deeply meaningful dish that evokes reminders of how bittersweet our lives are, but"
"There are few better ways to get to know a city than to explore its street food, and the vada pav is Mumbai's famous, wildly popular potato sandwich. Created in the 1960s and popularized during the textile strikes of the '70s and '80s, it features mashed potato made with an array of flavors that can include (but aren't limited to) things like fennel, chiles, onions, masala spices, and garlic, then deep-fried with the help of a chickpea batter."
A perfect sandwich balances bread, fillings, and sauces to create an ideal eating experience. The word "sandwich" appeared in print in 1762, but layered bread-based foods existed much earlier. Korech, a Passover sandwich from around 110 BC, pairs bitter herbs with unleavened matzo and evokes bittersweet life memories. The Earl of Sandwich lent his name to the modern term but did not invent the concept. Many countries possess iconic, culturally treasured sandwiches. Mumbai's vada pav is a celebrated street-food potato sandwich, created in the 1960s and selling in the millions daily.
