The sandwich is named after John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich. According to legend, Montagu was an avid gambler who did not want to leave the gaming table to eat. He ordered his valet to bring him meat tucked between two slices of bread, allowing him to play cards and eat at the same time. Playing cards first became popular in Europe during the late fourteenth century. This convenient meal option quickly grew in popularity among his peers, eventually becoming a staple of modern cuisine.
