The Earl of Kent

Forgive my ignorance but I am a little confused. What on earth has the Earl of Kent got to do with sandwiches?

I've been wondering that for the last couple of days but I thought I was the only one in here that didn't know - so I kept quiet!

Quite right... there are plenty of other brands. It is a British icon.


I have sent a person objection direct to http://www.heinz.co.uk/content/talk_to_us.aspx

Of course, it might be a marketing ploy intended to whip up public interest, like when they pretended they were going to discontinue Heinz Salad Cream (vile stuff).
 
Earl of Kent ...he was a regal rebrobate who liked to drink an play cards , during one marathon game he told his man servant to stick some food in between two loaves an thats how the sandwich was borne ...:)

John Montagu ....It is said that in approx.1762, he asked for meat to be served between slices of bread, to avoid interrupting a gambling game. This story may have been rumour or adverse propoganda, put about by his rivals.
 
Maybe to a northerner lol.... the facts however prove otherwise. Now I'm off to make a plate of bacon dovers lol........
