A GAMBLER AT LUNCH!
Today is John Montagu's Birthday! The
name might not mean anything to you
immediately. After all he was born way
back in 1718. But John was very well
know during his lifetime! And he was
primarily know as a gambler! A very
serious gambler! So much so that he
didn't want to leave the gambling table
once he was seated. During one very
serious game he was faced with the
choice of leaving for lunch or going
hungry while he remained and played.
But John had an idea of his own. He
asked someone to bring him a loaf of
bread and some meat. He sliced to pieces
of the bread and put the meat in between
the two slices. Hence was born what was to
become a very popular menu item. Created
by John Montagu, an Englishman who held
the title "The 4th Earl of Sandwich!" For
whom the sandwich was named! Hope you
enjoy one from time to time and that all
your NEWS is good!
