John Montagu, the Fourth Earl Of Sandwich, invented the eponymous food in 1762. A notorious gambler, he would not leave the gaming table to eat. He asked for meat and a couple of pieces of bread to throw dice with one hand and eat with the other. No knife or fork required. The first sandwiches were gambling food: something easy to eat without utensils.

I love this sandwich. I like it for breakfast too with a fried egg. Sometimes I add slices of avocado to ratchet up the epic!

Serve this with chips, a dill pickle, and sparkling water with lemon. Simple, nutritious, and delicious.
