Did you know that the Sandwich was America’s First Fast Food? Here’s some Sandwich history for you from The Sandwich University…
“During the nineteenth century, the midday dinner (what we now call lunch) was the main meal of the day. Supper (what we now call dinner) consisted of lighter fare made with leftovers-perfect for making into sandwiches. English author Charlotte Mason wrote the first cook book recipes for sandwiches. She recommended placing very thin slices of beef between thin slices of buttered bread with crusts removed. Victorian home cooks studied her suggestions and sandwiches began to be offered at the family table. The dish rapidly became popular for teas and picnics as well. Sandwiches were served widely at taverns and inns.
The first American cook book writer to publish sandwich recipes was Eliza Leslie, who described how to make a ham sandwich with mustard. With the rise of the railroads in America, the sandwich became the first fast food, sold in dining cars and at train stations to hungry travelers. At the turn of the century, taverns and saloons offered free sandwiches with drinks as a way to attract customers. During this period, the club sandwich was created and served to businessmen in the dark-paneled dining rooms of their private clubs.”
These Easy French Dip Sandwiches are also great to pack in a picnic or take with you on a road trip. Just wrap in foil to keep warm and you have a great on-the-go sandwich! It’s perfect for us to pack to take to Baseball Games. Almost every night we are on the road a couple hours away, and not only is Fast Food expensive, it’s not good for us.
