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.

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