The sandwich as we know it was popularized in England in 1762 by John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich. Legend has it, and most food historians agree, that Montagu had a gambling problem that led him to spend hours on end at the card table. During a particularly long binge, he asked the house cook to bring him something he could eat without getting up from his seat, and the sandwich was born. Montagu enjyed his meat and bread so much that he ate it constantly, and as it grew popular in London society circles, it also took on the Earl’s name. Of course, John Montagu (or rather, his nameless cook) was hardly the first person to think of putting fillings between slices of bread. In fact, we know exactly where Montagu first got the idea for his creation. Montagu traveled abroad to the Mediterranean, where Turkish and Greek mezze platters were served. Dips, cheeses, and meats were all ”sandwiched” between and on layers of bread. In all likelihood Montagu took inspiration from these when he sat at that card table. Montagu’s creation took off immediately. Just a few months later, a man named Edward Gibbon mentioned the sandwich by name in a diary entry, writing that he’d seen “twenty or thirty of the first men of the kingdom” in a restaurant eating them.By the Revolutionary War, the sandwich was well established in England. You would expect American colonists to have taken to the sandwich as well, but there’s no early written record of them in the new country at all, and a sandwich recipe didn’t apprar in an American cookbook until 1815. Why would this creation go unsung in the nation for so long? It seems early American cooks tinded to avoid food trends from their formerruling state. And the name “sandwich” itself comes from the British upper class system, something that most Americans wanted to forget. Once memory faded and the sandwich appeared, the most popular version wasn’t ham or turkey, but tongue! Of course, most Americans today wouldn’t dream of eating a tongue sandwich. But that’s ok, since so many pretty excellent sandwich ideas have popped up since then.

請試著閱讀文章的第二段。作者提到蒙塔古伯爵並非「第一個」想到要把配料夾在麵包裡的人，那麼文中提到他曾去過哪個特定的地理區域旅行？在那裡，他看到了哪一種傳統的用餐方式，才激發了他對三明治的構想呢？

太棒了！你能精準地從文章中擷取關鍵資訊，這代表你具備了優秀的資訊檢索能力。這題的核心在於區分「三明治的起源傳說」與「真實的靈感來源」。雖然第一段描述了蒙塔古伯爵（John Montagu）在牌桌上因不願起身而發明三明治的趣聞，但文章第二段隨即進行了事實考證，明確指出伯爵並非憑空想像，而是將他在海外見識到的飲食文化帶回了英國。
