In the time of Herod's reign, during Passover Jewish people started the custom of placing a mixture of chopped nuts, apples, spices and wine between two matzos and eating it with bitter herbs. Then in the 1780s, an Englishman named John Montague refused to leave the gambling table for a meal and ordered his valet to bring him meat tucked between two pieces of bread. Today, billions of sandwiches of unbelievable variety are his legacy. Availability Sandwiches are one of the hottest items around, both in and out of the fast food industry. They are also economical and easy to prepare at home.
Sandwiches are convenient and come in an endless variety of forms.
Served hot or cold, sandwiches are great at any meal of the day. Storage Sandwiches can be prepared and stored in the freezer for up to two weeks. If you can afford the fat calories, spreading bread slices with softened margarine prior to filling will help keep the filling from soaking into the bread. A sandwich taken from the freezer in the morning will be thawed and just right to eat by noon. Do not freeze fresh vegetables, fruits or other very crisp fillings.
