the sandwich

One of mankind's greatest inventions was not the wheel, the plane or the laser beam, but the sandwich.

The sandwich was born when the fourth Earl of Sandwittch, still in the 18th century, instead of facing the laziness of a formal dinner, ordered his servant to do “anything” simple and quick. He wanted to kill his hunger without abandoning what he was doing – they say he played playing cards.

Since then, people have been very _______ busy that the English nobleman and the creation of the servant became a universal craze. Attractive, simple, the sandwich has spent two centuries incorporating to its basic formula everything imaginable of edible.
