Sandwich Day is November 3rd
John Montague, born in 1718, was an English nobleman who loved to
play cards. Once in 1762 he played cards at a men's club in London
for 24 hours straight. He didn't want to push his luck by leaving the
table to eat, so he asked that some roasted meats and cheeses be brought
to him between two slices of bread so that he could hold his food in
one hand and his cards in the other. The new food, the sandwich, was
named for him, the Earl of Sandwich. Montague's time-saving nourishment
idea caught on quickly and changed the eating habits of people forever.

Tune: "Old MacDonald Had a Farm"
Let’s all make a big sandwich--
Yummy, yummy, yum!
And on it we will put some cheese--
Yummy, yummy, yum!
With a little cheese here,
And a little cheese there,
Here cheese, there cheese, everywhere cheese, cheese!
Let’s all make a big sandwich--
Yummy, yummy, yum
Substitute mustard, ketchup, pickles, lettuce, ham, chicken, etc.
for cheese in other verses.
