Video Overview
Script: What if I told you the sandwich was invented out of sheer necessity? Picture this: 18th century England, a nobleman named John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, is engrossed in a marathon gambling session. Too absorbed to leave the table for dinner, he requests meat tucked between two slices of bread, allowing him to eat with one hand while playing cards with the other. This practical solution soon caught on, becoming a culinary staple. Now, every time you bite into a sandwich, you're partaking in a tradition born from a gambling table's demands, a simple meal with an unexpectedly rich origin.
