Which is your favorite sandwich?
The sandwich, named after the 4th Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu, gained popularity in America during the 18th and 19th centuries, with the first known use of the word "sandwich" appearing in 1762, and recipes appearing in American cookbooks by the 1830s.
Sandwiches became more popular in America as soft white bread became a staple in the American diet. By the 1920s, white loaf bread was even referred to as "sandwich bread" or "sandwich loaf," further solidifying the sandwich's place in the American culinary landscape.
