Three Hot Sandwich Recipes, Perfect For Lunch Or Dinner

People love sandwiches. We love all kinds — two slices of bread, filled pita pockets, rolled flat bread, and open-faced sandwiches. Canapes (tiny finger sandwiches) are popular again. Where did sandwiches come from?

The sandwich was invented by a British nobleman, John Montague, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich. According to the Open Sandwich Website, he was a terrible gambler. Around 1762, legend has it that Montague asked a waiter to bring him cold roast beef between two slices of bread to avoid getting his cards greasy.

The Food Reference Website describes Montague as a “notorious gambler, running from one pub to another.” His lifestyle left https://riyodi2916.wixsite.com/-diningexperience/post/satisfying-experience-banh-mi-bread-was-fresh-and-crispy-stuffed-banh-mi little time for eating, the site goes on to say, and that is why he ordered meat between two slices of bread. Since then, people around the world have enjoyed sandwiches.

I had open-faced sandwiches in Copenhagen, Denmark. The artistic sandwiches, garnished with tiny sprigs of watercress and chopped egg, were so beautiful I was hesitant to cut them. Open-faced sandwiches and canapes are labor-intensive. And hot sandwiches usually take longer to make than cold.

Sandwiches can be as simple as grilled cheese or the thrifty British sandwich of baked beans on toast. Hot sandwiches taste especially good on cold days.
