The Philosopher's sandwich

I want an existential sandwich

With extra light spread

The filling almost there

On gluten free bread

A philosophic sub

With the meat of the matter

Taste beyond buds

To make my mind fatter

Oh, how I long for

A butty with bite

That answers my questions

Deep in the night

The wholesome snack

That feeds my soul

The bready need

To meet all rolls

It was the 4th Earl who gave his name to the Sandwich, supposedly through his habit of ordering meat between slices of bread when he was too busy for lunch.

He was First Lord of the Admiralty and a supporter of Captain James Book who named the Sandwich Islands (now Hawaii) after him.

The South Sandwich islands in the South Atlantic are also named after him.

The British spend £7.5bn a year on sandwiches.

According to a survey, the most common lunch for office workers is a cheese sandwich.

The earliest recorded use of the word ‘sandwich’ was in 1494 when it meant ‘some kind of cord’.

The average American will have eaten 1,500 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches by the time they leave school.

The verb ‘to sandwich’ is 200 years old. It was first used in 1815 to mean ‘to have a light meal’.

The largest sandwich weighed 2,467.5 kg (5,440 lb) and was made by Wild Woody’s Chill and Grill, Roseville, Michigan, USA on 17 March 2005. The sandwich contained 68 kg (150 lb) mustard, 468.1 kg (1,032 lb) corned beef, 117.9 kg (260 lb) cheese, 240.4 kg (530 lb) lettuce and 1,618.4 kg (3,568 lb) bread.

The sandwich measured 0.44 m (17.5 in) thick and was 3.6 m (12 ft) long and 3.6 m (12 ft wide).

I would have to say that my greatest strength is my attentionto detail.

WORD OF THE DAY
