There's nothing like a good sandwich to satisfy your hunger during astroll through Paris; it's the ideal solution for eating on the go without wasting time on your walk, without compromising on quality. Indeed, sandwiches are not limited to the classic ham and butter sandwich found in bakeries! By the way, do you know the legend surrounding the creation of the sandwich?
Its origins date back to 18th-century England, when John Montagu, fourth Earl of Sandwich, is said to have asked his houseboy to bring him some meat between two slices of bread, so that he could eat without interrupting his work. Thus was born the sandwich.
Easy to prepare, take away, and devour, sandwiches come in a thousand and one varieties, depending on the country in which they are found. In the United States, for example, delicatessens in New York offer sandwiches withItalian orJewishinfluences, reflecting the arrival of these different communities over the decades, such as the pastrami sandwich or the Reuben.
InVietnam, on the other hand, the focus is on freshness with the unbeatable banh mi and its avalanche of vegetables and cilantro, while inJapan, it's the sando that steals the hearts of gourmets with its two slices of light-as-air bread. And France is not to be outdone, with itscroque-monsieur filledwith melted cheese, itspan bagnatthat smells of the South, or the unmissable kebab, which we prefer traditional or Berlin-style.
