Club sandwich is one of those words that just rolls off the tongue. You may have enjoyed one at a beach bar on holiday, or unwittingly made one in your own kitchen. A Club sandwich consists of three slices of toasted bread, chicken, bacon, lettuce and mayonnaise.
The sandwich, which was a favourite of King Edward VIII, is usually cut into triangles and held together with wooden sticks.
But have you ever considered where the name actually came from? A club sandwich is a classic lunchtime staple that many believe originated in New York in the 1890s – and the origin of the name will blow your mind.
