What is the most popular food in western countries? If you are not sure, statistics might give you the answer.
Every year，some 20 million people walk into restaurants and buy 2 billion sandwiches. Americans alone eat more than 1 billion sandwiches annually. If you lined up all the sandwiches Westerners eat in a year, they would go around the world 13 times!
When John Montagu made the very first sandwich in England in 1762, he couldn't have imagined that it would still be very popular almost 250 years later. There
is
a
campaign
starting this month in the
US to find the healthiest
and best tasting sandwich
in the country.
Sandwiches are commonly carried to school or work in lunch boxes or brown paper bags to be eaten
for lunch. They are also taken on picnics and hiking
trips. Their longlasting popularity lies in their convenience and fast preparation time.
You can put everything you want inside a sandwich. They are easy to clean up after, nutritious and come in hundreds of different kinds.
Wellknown American chef Dave Lieberman adds
another reason.“I think people like to touch their food,
kids especially. It's just a natural instinct. You don't
have to use a knife and fork to eat a sandwich，” he
said.
Sandwiches can be hot or cold with almost any
kind of filling. One of the most popular kinds is the
BLT—bacon，lettuce and tomato. Although it is a simple food, it can still be creative. Sandwiches can be
served openfaced, with sushi inside or grilled with delicious fillings.
