How did sandwitches get their name?

Question

Was there a witch known as the sand witch and where can I learn more about the sand witch?

Answer 1

It came from an English lord. He was a consummate gambler and did not like taking time away from a hot game for food. At one point the man ordered his servants during a high stakes game to take some meat and put it between two slabs of bread!
The man was the "Earl of Sandwich", of England.
This is a true story. He was the Earl of Sandwich and his contemporaries were amused with the bread and meat meal and called the damned thing a sandwich!
I cannot recall the Earl's name, nor the century this occurred.
But that is why and where and how the sandwich got it's nomenclature.

Answer 2

They put witches made of sand between bread.

Answer 3

Wingfoot is almost right, and you should award her full points. The 4th Earl of Sandwich in England in the 18th Century was playing cards one night and didn't want to stop. So he told a servant to bring him a few slices of meat between slices of bread, so he wouldn't have to leave for a sit-down dinner. That earl sponsored my ancestors when they wanted to leave Scotland because of religious differences. My ancestors left England for New Hampshire. Later, in 1850, they migrated across the U.S. to Illinois, where they founded a town called Sandwich, which exists today.

Answer 4

The modern sandwich is named after the 4th Earl of Sandwich, although the exact circumstances of the invention of the sandwich are still the subject of debate.

(I think maybe the earl's ancestors were witches who had halloween parties on the beach)
