YUMMY VARIETY VEGETARIAN SANDWICHES
LET’S KNOW THE ORIGIN OF SANDWICH
in 1762, john montagu, the 4th earl of sandwich, invented the meal that changed dining forever.
as the story goes, he was playing cards and did not want to leave the gaming table to eat
so he asked for a serving of roast beef to be placed between two slices of bread so that he could eat without leaving the table and continue to play the game as he ate thus the name sandwich came into existence
it was the british who introduced the modern white bread loaf to india
as the popularity of slice bread spread, it offered an exciting opportunity for street vendors
in the 1960s, someone invented bombay sandwich.
this consisted of vegetables ( often, mainly potatoes ) encased in two slices of bread, which had lined with green chutney ( coriander chutney )and butter. this is our desi version of sandwich
as far as i know, this was the first popular indian sandwich
november 1 is considered to be the world sandwich day
more people consume rice as a staple diet, but there is no doubt that the Sandwich is the world’s go-to standard when it come to a fast and filling simple meal That can be had without much fuss
sandwich is a dish which does not even require to be served in
with the subsequent industrial revolution seeing increasing number of people travel further and further away from their homes to factories and offices, the sandwich became a western world staple
it was easy to make at home and compact enough to be packed and carried from home – in their bags or even in their coat pockets
while the colonial powers may have introduced the sandwich in india, there is no doubt that we have made it our own
