The sandwich was named after the 4th Earl of Sandwich, an 18th-century English aristocrat, although it is unlikely to have been invented by him.

The Earl of Sandwich of England.He wanted a way to eat without disrupting his card game so he put meat between two pieces of bread and as they say the rest is history.

They've done a story on that on the Food Network and I think the History Channel as well. You could probably look up their websites to find out. Or just look up sandwiches.

I usually don't like *who invented* questions, because a lot of the time we don't know for sure, but we might know who is credited for it. My guess is the first fella or woman who had two slices of bread, a piece of meat, and was too busy to sit down to eat it:)
