Where To Watch
Do you know these classic sandwiches by their recipes?
It's the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Slice it any way you like – everybody enjoys a sandwich of some kind. With two slices of bread and a world of possibilities, it's impossible not to enjoy a sandwich when you can put almost anything on it.
The practicality of bread and it's ability to hold up against messy, greasy foods was just the kind of simple solution that could start a food revolution. During a game of cards, John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, ordered a piece of meat between two slices of bread as a late-night snack. It was ingenious; one could continue playing cards and have a full meal without pausing, and without the mess of a plate and cutlery. His friends demanded that they be served "the same as Sandwich!" Thus, the sandwich was born.

You want a challenge - do a quiz on sandwiches and what they are called where.
-- Wedge. Grinder. Hoagie. Sub. Where would you find them and what would be on them?

11/11 - A few guesses
11/11, I eat too many sandwiches.
10/11 Never heard of #4
Ruebens are my favorite. It's hard find Russian dressing sometimes, so I substitute Thousand Island.
I agree and it still tastes great!!

Would anybody mind if I left the pickles off my Cuban? Not trying to insult anybody--I just don't like pickles.
6/11; missed 4, 6, 7, 8 & 11. 4 of the ones I missed I never heard of. I have heard of a Reuben but have never had one and did not know what was in it.
left out italian beef, (chicago) grilled cheese, and tuna salad -- sandwichs are my favorite food-most of my freinds and fam prefer pizza; interestngly, when i worked downton about 25 yrs ago, i'd goout for lunch but nonoe, i mean it, noone had what i wanted: blt, or grilled cheese, or tuna salad. sandwiches had become fancy creative unfamiliar so you had to read the entire description
