When sandwiches are leftover after a picnic, you can use them in the following dish: Mince the sandwiches in a food processor, mix with a good well-seasoned gravy, put in a pie dish and cover with mashed potato about an inch thick. This, baked in the oven, makes a delicious luncheon dish.
The common picnic sandwich is named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich (1718-1792) a noted British statesman and First Lord of the Admiralty during the American Revolution. His support of exploration led Captain James Cook to name the Sandwich Islands after him in 1778.
Montagu, known for spending long hours at his work and the gaming table, had his servants bring him slices of salted beef between two pieces of toasted bread for a substitute meal. Soon, others began to request "the same as Sandwich," and the rest, as they say, is history. We owe a debt to Montague for the sandwich spread recipes featured above.
