I'm suspicious that the Earlof Sandwich invented sandwiches.
You're telling me people ate bread for 10,000 years and never thought to put stuff in the middle?
Blackadder: Now, Baldrick, go to the kitchen and make me something quick and simple to eat, would you? Two slices of bread with something in between.
Baldrick: What, like Gerald, Lord Sandwich had the other day?
Blackadder: Yes, a few rounds of geralds.
Right? I mean a gyro is basically a sandwich. Those have probably been around forever.
Or using the bread in Ethiopian cuisine as an eating utensil... basically a tiny sandwich.
Well they only started slicing bread a hundred years ago so I'd believe it :cap-think:
yeah, go ask an athenian cafe to serve you a turkish coffee and i guarantee at least some kind of a dirty look.
Go ask any place in the Balkans (Turkey included) who invented Baklava and you might end up having to run for your life.
The funniest one I've heard is that Italians stole noodles from the Chinese.
From whence does Mediterranean flatbread with cheese on it come from? I claim this in the name of my Albanian bunker!
I invented taking your shirt off before laying down on the couch to eat while watching TV, so as to not stain your shirt with greasy drips and sauces.
it's called the Carolina Swamp Boat.
This is a white thing or at least an Anglo thing
You'll always hear them claiming how someone "invented" Beef Stroganoff or something, and it's like dude it's pasta, cream, and steak in a fuckin bowl. The former is Italian, and the latter 2 were created in Iran 10,000+ years ago
sometimes cities or countries do that kind of thing
There is one place in India called Tibb's Frankie that claims to have invented their specific version of a wrap. Every stand has the origin story of the dude traveling to Lebanon and being inspired by their cuisine
