 | | John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, England, is credited with inventing the sandwich, i.e., two slices of bread covering a filling of meat, fish, cheese, or some combination of ingredients. |
 | | The sandwich, in one form or another, appears on the menu of virtually every restaurant and eating establishment in America, with the exception of certain Oriental restaurants where breads are simply and unfortunately, not part of the particular culture. |
 | | One sandwich in particular is the most venerated, the object of gastronomic love, the subject of contests to determine whose sandwich is best in a given year, and the standard by which New York style delis (delicatessens) are judged: The Hot Pastrami Sandwich. |
