Every year，some 20 million people walk into restaurants and buy 2 billion 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 couldn't have imagined that it would still be very popular almost 250 years later. There

　　is

　　a

　　campaign

　　starting this month in the

　　US to find the healthiest

　　and best tasting sandwich

　　in the country.

　　Sandwiches are commonly carried to school or work in lunch boxes or brown paper bags to be eaten

　　for lunch. They are also taken on picnics and hiking

　　trips. Their long­lasting popularity lies in their convenience and fast preparation time.

　　You can put everything you want inside a sandwich. They are easy to clean up after, nutritious and come in hundreds of different kinds.

　　Well­known American chef Dave Lieberman adds

　　another reason.“I think people like to touch their food,

　　kids especially. It's just a natural instinct. You don't

　　have to use a knife and fork to eat a sandwich，” he

　　said.

　　Sandwiches can be hot or cold with almost any
