The sandwich may seem simple, but its history is surprisingly rich. In this episode of Compact History, we explore how humans have wrapped, stacked, folded, and filled bread for centuries, from ancient street food and medieval trenchers to the 18th-century Earl of Sandwich and the rise of the modern packed lunch. It is the story of convenience, class, work, travel, industry, and one of the most adaptable meals ever created.
