Today is the anniversary of John Montagu’s birthday.  John Montagu was an 18th-century English nobleman, and the fourth Earl of Sandwich. It was he who invented what we refer to as a sandwich during a 24-hour gambling bender when he was seeking something to eat with one hand.  He requested sliced meat between two pieces of bread.  Others began ordering “the same as Sandwich”, and that is how it got its name.  (Or so the story goes.)

So, today we celebrate National Sandwich Day with a few great recipes:
