John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich, invented the famous snack in 1762 as an avid card player. As the legend says, he ordered the servant to serve him meat between two slices of bread, so as not to interrupt the protracted card game. Friends of John have tried, have estimated such dish and began to reserve the same constantly. Gradually the sandwich became an integral part of the food culture
Celebrations will be held in Sandwich on 12 and 13 May (program of events). The program is expected to compete in baguette and sandwich, where the inhabitants of the sister city of Sandwich, French Honfleur will be dressed in traditional Norman costumes. A theatrical presentation of the legend of creating a legendary sandwich, an 18th century music concert, a food fair and a Sandwich competition are also being prepared, at which guests will be invited to create their own variation on the theme of the meal. The event is part of the "National Sandwich Week", which will be celebrated on the whole country from May 9 to May 15.
To date, the sandwich production industry in the United Kingdom provides jobs for 300,000 people, and the market size is estimated by experts for an amount exceeding 6 billion pounds.
