National Sandwich Day
November 3 · Level 2 · #1823 of 2238
National Sandwich Day is an unofficial American celebration of a meal you can hold in your hands. From a homemade favourite to a deli special, bread and filling get their moment in the spotlight.
How it is celebrated: sandwich shops and cafés offer promotions, while home cooks experiment with fillings and share recipes. Trying a new combination is an easy way to join in.
The sandwich takes its name from John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich. The famous story that he requested meat between slices of bread so he could keep playing cards is a legend.
