My opinion on the first ever sandwhich.....I was just considering what was in the first ever sandwhich made (which I assume would have been for the Earl of Sandwhich). My guess would have been roast beef. A work colleague has suggested it would have been roast lamb. We both agree that it probably would have been meat but my colleague believes lamb was far more prevalent in ye olde times. But it was for an Earl, surely he could have afforded the luxury of dead cow. Maybe we will never know.
