  1. In Europe, the highest-ranking \u201cofficer\u201d under the king was called a Duke.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. After the duke, there was the marquess, and after the marquess, there was the earl.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Now, there is a\u00a0<\/span>town<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in England called Sandwich, which today has a population of around 5000 people.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. In the 1760s, the Earl of this town, Sandwich, was someone named John Montagu.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Montagu was addicted to gambling and would spend hours playing cards<\/a> on the gambling table each day.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. One day he asked his house cook<\/a> to bring him something he could eat without leaving the table and without using a fork and knife.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. And since he was playing cards, he didn\u2019t want his hands to get greasy.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. So, the cook tucked meat between two slices of bread, and the sandwich was born.<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. He is said to have liked the sandwich so much that he began eating them at his {tooltip}work desk{end-text}His biographer, N. A. M. Rodger suggests that he first consumed a Sandwich at his work desk.{end-tooltip} and regularly requested them at gatherings, making it popular in the London society.<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. Soon, his friends (who most likely were not from Sandwich) began to order \u201cthe same as Sandwich.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  11. While sandwich became a sandwich because of the Earl of Sandwich, Montagu wasn\u2019t the first to eat his meat tucked between slices of bread.<\/span><\/li>\n
  12. He is believed to have gotten the idea from Turkish and Greek platters where dips, cheeses, and meats were all \u201csandwiched\u201d between layers of bread\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  13. And possibly shared this idea with the house cook before the first sandwich was produced.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
