Sandwiches and lemon juice

The rise in the demand for sandwiches came about as our society became busier and had less time to devote to preparing and consuming meals. Quick, transportable, and affordable food became a necessity in a fast-paced industrial era. This shift can be seen even in our lunch habits today, most commonly consumed in our offices.

However, the concept of using some sort of bread or a bread-like item to support or encase different types of food has been prevalent in many ancient cultures across the globe. Despite changes, sandwiches have always remained in style, primarily owing to their convenience. Where we purchase them, their preparation methods, and their contents might have evolved, but the sandwich persists as a beloved comfort food and everyday snack. There's a unique pleasure in having a pre-packaged sandwich, whether it's a wrap picked up at the grocer or a restaurant burger, that far surpasses the satisfaction of making one at home. The conventional meat-and-bread combination is a widely beloved choice.
