John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, would be surprised that his “invention” has been debated since the “Dawn of Time”.

Maybe he should be Conde Sandwicho . . . a little Spanish lingo there.

Actually people have been eating food wrapped in other food since we started cooking.

Which leads to the question. Is a lettuce wrap a sandwich?

As it happens, you are correct. A Conde(count, comte) is the equivalent of an English Earl.

One of the earliest known sandwich-eaters 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, recounts how Hillel made sandwiches using Paschal lamb, bitter herbs and unleavened matzoh bread.
