Who Invented the Sandwich?

Food historians believe that sandwiches, as we know them today, were first created by John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, in 1762. Montagu was allegedly a fan of gambling, and as the story goes, would spend solid days gambling, which meant he required a snack that would not interfere with his game. Upon request, his cook presented him with some slices of meat between two slices of toast, with no need for utensils, and so the sandwich was born.

From eye-catching party foods to dreamy charcuterie boards, making your tablescape aesthetically pleasing is key to hosting the ultimate lunch or dinner with friends.

According to WRAP, the UK's Waste & Resources Action Programme NGO, around 9.5 million tonnes of food is wasted each year in the UK, of which 70% was intended to be consumed (the other 30% being the ‘inedible parts’ of food). By weight, household food waste makes up the lion’s share, accounting for 70% of UK food wastage.

A study by researchers at the University of Manchester in 2018 found that sandwiches containing a combo of pork meat (bacon, ham or sausages), cheese and prawns had the highest carbon footprint. Similarly, adding cheese to a vegetarian sandwich results in a carbon footprint comparable to, or even higher than, than that of some of the meat sandwiches.

Making your own sandwiches at home greatly reduces your carbon footprint. According to the study, the average carbon footprint of a home-made ham & cheese is around two times lower than that of a ready-made equivalent bought from a shop.
