For a long time, sandwiches were considered an elitist dish. The fact is that ordinary workers and peasants did not understand the concept of sandwiches. Originally, sandwiches were bread and butter. Traditionally, this meal was served as an aperitif to breakfast. Many landlords and noblemen doctors prescribed bread with butter to improve digestion
. However, a working man can not feed bread and butter.
In the XX century people rethought traditional sandwiches
.
After a series of revolutions and the departure from the power of the bourgeoisie, workers began to prepare sandwiches with sausage, meat, cheese and other products.
