00:00 Did you know that the origin of the sandwich dates back to the 18th century?
00:03 It was thought and developed by John Montagu,
00:06 diplomat and admiral of the British fleet of the King of Great Britain George III,
00:11 but also "sandwich" account.
00:13 If we are sure that the idea comes from him, the context varies according to the sources,
00:17 and there are mainly two.
00:19 The first would be related to a card game.
00:21 John Montagu was an experienced player,
00:24 and during a card game, he would have asked to have a "snack".
00:27 A snack that was brought to him in the form of two slices of toasted bread,
00:31 stuffed with cold meat and cheese.
00:33 The other source indicates that in fact,
00:35 he would have made the sandwich when he was in charge of his government functions.
00:39 These two slices of stuffed bread allowed him to continue working at his office,
00:44 without interrupting his work and above all, without getting his hands dirty.
