Sandwich

A sandwich is a dish consisting of slices of bread with a filling. The term goes back to an 18th-century British statesman who devised eating food between slices of bread so that he could eat while playing cards. From 1760 onwards the sandwich was mentioned in English literature, at first as a snack in convivial company; in the 19th century it developed into a popular light meal that was often served with tea.

Regional Names and Variations

Regional terms such as belegtes Brot, Stulle or Bütterchen reflect its diversity. The forms are equally varied:

• Bagels
• Wraps
• Baguettes
• Packed lunches

Many sandwiches are complete meals and contain salad and vegetables, making them not only practical but also nutritious.

Sandwiches in Catering

As practical finger food, sandwiches are a popular catering option. Current dietary trends featuring vegetarian and vegan variations are taken into account here. For occasions such as team events or open days, around 2-3 sandwiches per guest are recommended, depending on the side dishes.
