In fact, Arabs had already started stuffing meat inside pita bread centuries before the Earl came up with his delicious snack. He may not have been the first to eat meat between two slices of bread, but Sandwich did lend the now-famous food his name. According to one account, on Nov. 3, 1762, the Earl was deep into a marathon poker game and couldn't be bothered to leave the gaming table for dinner.
