What is the most popular food in western countries?If you are not sure,statistics might give you the answer.
Every year ,some 20million people walk into restaurants and buy 2 billions sandwiches.
Americans alone eat more than 1 billion sandwiches annually .
If you lined up all the sandwiches Westerners eat in a year ,they would go around the world 13 times.
When John Montagu made the very first sandwich in England in 1762 ,he cound't have imagined that it would still be very popular almost 250 years later.
There is a campaign staring this month in the Us to find the healthiest and best tasting sandwich in country.
Sandwiches are commonly carried to school or work in lunchboxs or brown paper bags to be eaten for lunch .
They are also taken on picnics and hiking tripps ,
Their long-lasting popularity lies in their covenience and fast preparation time
You can put everything you want inside a sandwich.
They are easy to clear-up after
,nutritious and come in hundreds of different kinds.
Well-known American chef Dave Lieberman adds another reason ,"I think people like to touch their food ,kids especially.It's just natural instinct .You don't have to knife and fork to eat a sandwich" he said
Sandwiches can be hot or cold with almost any kind of filling .
One of the most popular kinds is the Blt-bacon ,lettuce and tomoto.Although it is a simple food ,it can still be creative.Sandwiches can be served open-faced ,with sushi inside or grilled with delicious fillings.
Lieberman recommends some teenage-friendly sandwich recipes"
Try this one:Peanut butter ,raisin and honey sandwich
2 slices of soft whole wheat bread
2 big sppons of peanut butter
1 good handful of raisins
1 spoon of honey
Spread the peanut butter onto one slice of bread .
Press in the raisins.Put in the raisins.Put honey on the other slice of bread.Then put both slice together.Now enjoy your sandwich~!

Could I have another sandwhich please? You are right, I cannot deny it. For the low-carb fans, the low-carb wrap has replaced the bread.
It is amzing how certain foods (such as a hamburger) rise to be such a popular food. When you look at other cultures, you realize that if you lived elsewhere, the role of hamburger would be replaced by something else.
Have a great day.
