Hold the Onion // March 11, 2007 at 12:43 pm |
We must give due to the urban legend that started it all-
The Earl of Sandwich – the poker game he was too involed in to leave for a proper sit down meal-the request to his manservant for a serving of roast beef dressed in a slice of bread (pehaps some horseradish on the side?) the winning hand, the toothsome mouthful and a new way to eat was created. Now don’t attack me-I did say legend. HTO

Another iconic ironic entry was the toast sandwich ordered by Jack in Five Easy Pieces.
What started out as a BLT was stripped of
it’s various layers until all that remained was
the toast-though I don’t think that it ever
made it to the table….HTO
