In Italy, a bowl of pasta may be the lunch of choice. If you visit China, steamed vegetables and rice may be the special of the afternoon. In most places, however, the sandwich reigns supreme. The sandwich as we know if is said to have been invented in the 1700′s by John Montague, the 4th Earl of Sandwich as a quick meal that he could eat without interrupting his gambling sessions.

There are many fun ways to lunch when it comes to sandwiches. Kids will love the choices made just for them, including peanut butter and jelly, mini turkey subs, and build your own. There are so many deviations on the peanut butter sandwich that there is actually a restaurant in New York City that serves twelve variations on the classic pairing it with chocolate, bananas, marshmallow, and even bacon.
You don’t have to limit your lunch to watercress sandwiches in order to eat healthy. Choose a piece of grilled chicken to add to your sandwich or get a veggie sub that is stacked high with goodness without the fat and sodium. Most delis are happy to leave off the mayonnaise and cheese for those looking to watch their cholesterol. Even a tuna sandwich can be delicious if it is prepared with olive oil rather than mayo.
Whether you are chowing down a Reuben, grilled cheese, or ham sandwich, nothing will make it more satisfying than enjoying with a steaming hot mug of gourmet coffee. Just as wines are selected to complement a fine dinner, flavored gourmet coffees have become a delicacy to savor with your favorite lunch sandwich.
