Sandwich, A Blessing in Disguise!

Image
Sandwiches can be termed as a blessing for every generation, especially the current one. The millennials   are always looking for foods on the go, they do not have time to cook elaborately in the kitchen and that’s why sandwiches are a great option. All you need is some bread, vegetables  and butter/cheese or some other kind of spread  to put together this humble snack. Well, maybe that’s why Americans eat 300 sandwiches a day (maybe)! But, have you ever wondered how  this popular food come into existence? Here’ how:   Sandwich came into the picture in 1972 in England, by John Montagu, so obsessed with the gambling habits that he didn’t even stop for a meal.

Because oats can be grown even on the weakest soil, it was first grown as livestock feed. Later, around the 2000 BC, people in Poland and Scandinavia observed oats to be growing better there than wheat. The initial use of oats, except for serving the purposes of feeding animals was to make ale or beer. People used to sometimes ground oats into a flour and use it to make bread. The rest of the times, it was boiled with water and made into a thick soup. The humble ‘oats’ have come a long way since then. As it has got a delicate and bland taste, it can take up flavours really well. To find a grain that can absorb many flavours is otherwise difficult. Plus, the fibrous nature makes it very healthy for the body. It easy to digest as well and can be stored for long in dry and cool cond...
