Interestingly, we don't know who invented the sandwich, but it has existed in some form or another for thousands of years.
One of the earliest known sandwich connoisseurs was Hillel the Elder, a rabbi and scholar who was born in Babylon and lived in Jerusalem during the first century B.C.
The Haggadah, a Jewish text read during the annual Passover Seder, says that Hillel made sandwiches using Paschal lamb, bitter herbs and unleavened matzoh bread. In Jewish tradition, during the Seder dinner, participants remember this by creating their own matzoh sandwiches.

However, the name was adopted only in the 18th century because of John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich. Some sources claim that he had sliced meat and bread brought to him at the gaming table on one occasion so that he could continue to play as he ate.
But it seems more likely that he ate these sandwiches as he worked at his desk and/or that the world became aware of them when he requested them in London society.

His title lent the preparation cachet, and soon it was fashionable to serve sandwiches in many parts of Europe, with the word making its way into the French language.
Since then, the sandwich has been incorporated into virtually every cuisine of the West by virtue of its simplicity of preparation, portability, and endless variety; qualities that become evident as you scroll through this subreddit.

The moderators said that all sandwiches are welcome on the subreddit, so determining what makes a good one is subjective and varies among the members.
They also humorously added the phrase "upvotes go brrr," implying that the community expresses its preferences through upvoting posts rather than a serious discussion on which recipes are superior to others.

Patty Melt From A Local Joint
Since I developed a gluten sensitivity, I have been trying to find decent substitutes for the baked goods I have loved my entire life. Gluten free bread ends up being a quest to just find the LEAST bad tasting brand. Even homemade GF bread can taste bad or crumble too easily. The one that’s OK now for me only comes in small slices—-like only about twice the size of those tiny party sandwich loaves they sell in the deli section of a grocery store. Way smaller than a normal loaf. And hamburger rolls? You can F*****g forget finding a decent substitute. They taste weird, they’re also way too small for an average hamburger, and they soak up juices and just disintegrate, so you end up holding the burger instead of the bun. So I make patty melts instead of burgers, as the GF bread, though small, can accommodate a burger and does not disintegrate or crumble. Same thing, just different bread.
