FACT...SANDWICH
The simple ham sandwich is still the most popular sandwich in the US, and in second place is the BLT.
"I dined at the Cocoa Tree....That respectable body affords every evening a sight truly English. Twenty or thirty of the first men in the kingdom....supping at little tables....upon a bit of cold meat, or a Sandwich."
Edward Gibbon, historian
The first written record of the word 'sandwich', from Edward Gibbons Journal, 11/24/1762
It is estimated that Americans eat 300 million sandwiches each day - that's more than one for every man, woman and child in the nation!
According to the Guiness Book of World Records, the record for eating sandwiches is held by Peter Dowdeswell. He ate 40 jam and butter sandwiches (each 6 inches X 3 inches) in 17 minutes, 53.9 seconds on October 17, 1977.
