    Sandwiches are named after a Welsh peasant dish that originally consisted of witch meat between two bricks of baked sand. It was terrible and offered little nutritional value, but was very popular due to the great availability of witch meat and lack of any real alternatives for nourishment.

        Additional fun fact: “sandwich” is a degraded version of the original Welsh spelling, which is “syynndwrrrccchhchch,” and which was originally pronounced “klerb.”
