In 1762, the noble Earl of Sandwich the 4th (John Montagu), had a continued craving for meat between bread. He first ordered it while playing poker – he wanted to eat roast beef, but didn’t want to put down his cards or dirty his hands. Thus, the sandwich was born. Today, sandwiches are so popular that they have their own national day. According to a survey by YouGov, here are North America’s top three most popular sandwiches.
Turkey Sandwich
Turkey is such a versatile meat that it can go with almost any topping. It’s great cold or hot, and works with spicy, sweet, or savoury flavours. For these reasons, Turkey was liked by over 75% of those surveyed.
Grilled Chicken Sandwich
A healthy alternative to breaded chicken, but still flavourful, Grilled Chicken was liked by over 76% of those surveyed. A fresh grilled chicken sandwich is definitely in a league of its own.
Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Though it’s runner ups are liked because of their taste-to-nutrition ratio, Grilled Cheese is a classic that rests solely on its savory laurels. Grilled Cheese is the most popular sandwich in North America, with a whopping 80% of fans across the continent.
