The name comes from the English diplomat John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich. It was said that he was a compulsive gambler and to avoid stopping the game to eat, he would order that his food was brought to his table. The valet would bring him cold beef between two slices of bread. Later the snack became known as sandwich.
La palabra sandwich proviene del diplomático inglés John Montagu, cuarto conde de Sandwich. Aparentemente, era un jugador compulsivo y para evitar tener que detener el juego para comer, ordenaba que le trajeran su comida a la mesa. Sus sirvientes normalmente le traían fiambre entre dos rebanadas de pan. Más tarde, este tipo de comida se conoció como sandwich.

Once when a Lion was asleep a little Mouse began running up and down upon him; this soon
wakened the Lion, who placed his huge
paw upon him, and opened his big
jaws to swallow him. “Pardon, O King,” cried the little Mouse: “forgive me this time, I shall never forget it: who knows but what I may be able to do you a turn some of these days?” The Lion was so tickled at the idea of the Mouse being able to help him, that he lifted up his paw and let him go. Some time after the Lion was caught in a trap, and the hunters who desired to carry him alive to the King,
tied him to a tree while they went in search of a
wagon to carry him on. Just then the little Mouse happened to pass by, and seeing the sad
plight in which the Lion was, went up to him and soon
gnawed away the ropes that
bound the King of the Beasts. “Was I not right?” said the little Mouse.
Little friends may prove great friends.
