π₯ͺ Celebrating National Sandwich Day at Spring Lane Care Home! π₯³
Our residents had a deliciously educational and filling afternoon discovering the origins of the humble sandwich β all thanks to John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, the English aristocrat and card player who (legend has it) first tucked his steak between two slices of bread!
We also explored how sandwiches feature in Jewish tradition, such as the Passover Matzo sandwich.
Everyone then enjoyed tasting a selection of classic fillings β tuna and cucumber, cheese and tomato, egg mayonnaise and Coronation chicken β on either white or brown bread, before voting for their favourite! β€
Residents commented that it was the best thing since sliced bread.
Whatβs your go-to sandwich filling? Let us know in the comments! π
