Tired of packing the same old sandwich for work? Today is Sandwich Day, honoring the seventeenth-century British Earl of Sandwich, who, as legend goes, demanded one-handed meals during his card gambling spree. A perfect day for creative sandwich making!
Make over your lunch sandwiches for more flavor and nutrition.
