Because there has to be one.
Nov. 3 is the anniversary of John Montagu’s birthday. It’s believed that this 18th-century English noble, better known as the fourth Earl of Sandwich, wanted to eat with one hand during a 24-hour gambling bender. So, he instructed his servants to serve him his lunch meat between two pieces of bread. To celebrate the occasion, Nov. 3 is officially “National Sandwich Day.”

Regular readers know what this means: SANDWICH PARTY! Elsa and I are announcing today that another Sandwich Party is scheduled for November 27-29.
More later. As usual, Elsa does it better.
Dudes: Don’t post sandwich party stuff over at Facebook. Email me here at jagosaurus[at]mac.com if you have trouble commenting. Thanks.

I was just wondering about this the other day.
My thinking cap is on…

Woohoo!
Given the date, I wonder how many American participants will be “going cold turkey”.

Simon: I knew we could count on you.
Erik: Elsa and I discussed that very issue when picking the date. We will not be surprised by an abundance of turkey sandwiches.
