Drawn light
Sandwiches today are more popular than ever: this dish occupies a place on the menu of almost every cafeteria, and it costs a lot (often). In the distant 1600s – 1700s, it was a real culinary delicacy among European aristocrats! Sandwiches were loved because they are light, tasty, and do not stain your fingers – because they are a “closed sandwich”; the filling is between two slices of bread. And the name itself sounds bohemian – sandwich …. And if history is to be believed, it comes from the Fourth Earl of Sandwich! He was a respected aristocrat in England, and he was also known as an inveterate gambler!
According to one legend, the Earl ordered his servants to put a piece of beef between two slices of bread and bring it to him, as he did not want to be distracted from the game. Allegedly, that’s how the sandwich came to be. Another version says that the Count, being on a hunting trip, cut the bread and put it between two slices of meat – and had a picnic in the fresh air. Which of them to believe – everyone decides for himself. But the fact remains that the Count gave the unpretentious appetizer a loud name and popularity.
Until the 19th century, European sandwiches were a dish exclusively for nobles. Only then did their preparation “master” poor people, well, and they began earning good money in various institutions … But sandwiches existed long before the Count. They had a different name and recipe – different people prepared them. But the idea was the same: stuffing between two buns. So, the history of this dish needs to be updated, clear, and truly unknown …
So, what do we know about sandwiches? This word comes from German, meaning “bread and butter.” It is believed that Nicolaus Copernicus, a canonist of the Renaissance, invented the first to spread butter on bread. It happened during the war between the Poles and the Teutonic Order. Soldiers began to die en masse due to an incomprehensible epidemic provoked by dirty bread. To stop this, Copernicus suggested smearing clean bread with butter – a marker.
Soon, bread buttered with butter became popular among the people. And after Copernicus died, it became a real hit in taverns! People did not cut the bread into slices for several years – they simply slathered the loaf with butter! Only then did this delicacy take on a modern appearance.
Today, sandwiches are popular worldwide, and in each country, these snacks are prepared in their way. In Russia, for example, the classic sandwich is bread or loaf, with a slice of sausage on top and mayonnaise or butter (who likes it) in between. And in Spain, a sandwich is made of pre-fried bread, baked vegetables, and an omelet! Yeah, that sounds hearty.
