A look at the world's weird sandwiches! #NationalSandwichDay

Alixandra Caole Vila - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines – For centuries, people have been taking pleasure in various delicious combinations of meat, veggies and cheese stuffed between two slices of bread. Thanks to John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich (later known as Lord Sandwich), sandwich has been invented.

According to Punchbowl, Montagu is an 18th century English noble who wanted to eat his meal with one hand during a 24-hour gambling event, so he instructed his servants to serve him his lunchmeat between two slices of bread.  Consequently, Montagu was born on November 3. To commemorate the birth of the world's first sandwich-maker, November 3 is now known as the National Sandwich Day.

In line with the National Sandwich Day, here are some of the world’s most ridiculous sandwiches.

Meanwhile, the ‘most expensive sandwich in the world’ costs $214. The grandiose sandwich is made with Dom Perignon Champagne and 24k edible gold flakes, that's been buttered with thick layers of grass-fed white truffle butter.
