National Sandwich Month is celebrated every August in the United States. This month honors the sandwich, a popular food item made by placing various fillings between slices of bread. The origins of the sandwich are often attributed to the 18th-century English nobleman, John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, who is said to have requested meat served between bread to avoid interrupting his gambling. During National Sandwich Month, many restaurants and food enthusiasts promote special sandwich creations and events. It’s a time for people to explore different types of sandwiches, from classic PB&J to gourmet options, and to appreciate the versatility and creativity involved in making this beloved meal.
