Many say it was "invented" by the Earl of Sandwich, an enthusiastic card player who refused to stop playing to have dinner, instead asking that the kitchen staff brought him out slices of meat & bread. Others liked the idea when they saw it, and said "I'll have what Sandwich is having".

Late? To paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of his death are greatly exaggerated (I hope).
