Why can't all of our leaders be so wise?

The modern sandwich is certainly named after Lord Sandwich, and it had been claimed, on the strength of a rumour in a travel book by Grosley, that he invented it to sustain himself while gambling. Sandwich's biographer Rodger suggests that, since at that time Sandwich is known to have been very busy, Sandwich's snacks are more likely to have been taken at his desk.

Sandwich didn't invent the idea of putting food between pieces of bread; a style of sandwich is credited to Hillel the Elder, a Jewish leader who lived before Jesus.
