Fun fact:when can something be called a Club Sandwich? The Club Sandwich originated in the United States sometime in the 1800s, but exactly where and when is not clear. He may have been first served at the Union Club in New York, but there are also sources that claim he was invented at a gambling club in Saratoga Springs, also in New York. The Club Sandwich quickly became popular and was already on menus throughout the United States by the end of the nineteenth century. A Club Sandwich traditionally consists of three, sometimes four, slices of lightly toasted bread, usually casino, toast, or cornbread. In between are two layers of toppings:meat (or fish, or vegetarian) and lettuce (or another vegetable). Bread and spreads must be absolutely fresh, and if the bread is not toasted it should not be called a Club Sandwich. The sandwich is cut diagonally, sometimes even twice, so that it becomes two or four triangular sandwiches. These are held together with skewers and served with fries or chips.
