EWolfe Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 I would just like to give a bump up to the Earl of Sandwich, may he rest in peace. We take this component of lunch so much for granted, and it weighs heavily upon me. Oh, sure. There was meat, there was bread and there was vegetables before the Earl, but he really brought it all together in what, I would venture, is one of the great all-time discoveries. Understanding this profound and far-reaching is a rare occurence, and is an example of the kind of synergy lacking in this modern world. So, as you enjoy your luch today, remember The Earl. Quote
glacier Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Remember that it was an invention of convenience, as the said earl was an obsessive gambler and wouldn't leave the gaming table to eat. Quote
Ratboy Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 who invented the burrito, then? The Earl of Burrito. Duh. Quote
Dru Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 I don't think the Spanish have Earls, he was probably a Comte or Marquis. Quote
