Did not expect to find that Montagu saw this kind of food with exultation, and casually called it the \"Sandwich\".Since then, he would shouted: \"take sandwiches!\" when he was hungry.Other gamblers also imitated, and ate the sandwiches when they played cards.Soon, the sandwich spreaded throughout the British Isles, and spreaded to Europe, and later to the USA.
三明治其实就是一种夹有馅心的面包,如今广泛流行于西方各国。关于三明治的来历,还有一个有趣的故事呢!
三明治本是英国东南部一个不出名的小镇。18世纪时,镇上有一位叫约翰〃蒙塔古的伯爵,是个酷爱玩纸牌的人。他整天沉溺在纸牌游戏中,已经到了废寝忘食的地步。仆人很难侍候他的饮食,便将一些菜肴、鸡蛋和腊肠夹在两片面包之间,让他边玩牌边吃饭。
没想到蒙塔古 见了这种食品大喜,并随口就把它称作“三明治”,以后饿了就喊:“拿三明治来!”其他赌徒也争相仿效,玩牌时都吃起三明治来。不久,三明治就传遍了英伦三岛,并传到了欧洲大陆,后来又传到了美国。
