Did you know that a sandwich was invented while playing poker?

[gravii2011]

In the 18th century, the English diplomat Earl John Montague had a good public career. He was the first Lord Admiral. He has been a member of many aristocratic clubs in England. It was with members of these elite clubs that he shared his main passion — playing poker. For the count, the card game was a way of life. He hasn't left the table all day. At some point, in order not to be distracted from the game for a minute, He asked His servant to serve cold meat and put a piece of bread on top and bottom. Thus, he did not get his hands dirty and could maintain all the decency of etiquette. The dish began to gain popularity in card clubs, and at first it was called the “Earl Sandwich Sandwich”. And then the worldwide popularity of the sandwich went through the classic PR campaign of that time. Sailors started eating sandwiches, and they were the ones who spread the recipe around the world.Do you eat sandwiches while playing?

I wonder how it was played by a person in poker and thought damn it, I need to come up with a sandwich very funny but if it's true it's cool and funny

I wonder how a poker man played it and thought, damn it, I need to come up with a sandwich very funny, but if it's true, it's cool and funny.

Yes, this is a historical truth. Because he didn't want to break into the game and wanted to eat too, and he didn't want to get his hands dirty.

I avoid touching my food when playing poker. After cleaning thousands of casino used chips, the fetid, grey/black water that is the dissolved finger jelly that was on the chips is always on my mind when I'm eating while touching chips. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
