Fast Food
“Today’s newspaper is tomorrow’s fish and chips wrapper,” people said it in the second half of the nineteenth century. Why? Because many years ago sellers packed fish and chips in newspaper to keep them warm. This does not happen anymore, for health reasons, but fish and chips is still Britain’s most favourite fast food.
Fish and chips appeared in the streets of London and other cities in the 1850s, and the first shops to sell them − in the 1860s. The most popular kind of fish is cod but other kinds of white fish are also possible. They cook fish in hot fat and eat it with chips on which people put salt or tomato sauce. Some people eat bread and butter with their fish and chips.
Fish and chips is very popular with holidaymakers at the seaside, even if the weather is so cold that they have to eat them sitting in their cars! Sometimes people choose fish and chips at the weekend as a change from cooking at home.
A favourite snack (quick food between meals) in Britain is the baked potato, or “potato in its jacket”, which is a potato cooked with the skin left on it. “Potatoes in the jackets” have butter, cheese or beans on top. You can buy many other kinds of hot fast food today, for example burgers and fried chicken from the USA, pizza from Italy, and kebabs from the Middle East. You may choose either to “eat in” or “take away”.
Sandwiches (either bought or home−made) make a quick lunch and are also very popular. It is easy to take them to school or work. The word “sandwich” comes from a man John Montagu. He was the fourth Earl of Sandwich and lived in the eighteenth century in the English town of Sandwich. He liked to play games at the table for a long time without stopping for a meal. So his cook put some beef between two pieces of bread − and made the first sandwich.

Еда быстрого приготовления
«Сегодняшняя газета − это завтрашняя обертка для рыбы и чипсов», − говорили люди во второй половине XIX века. Почему? Потому что много лет назад продавцы упаковывали в газету рыбу с жареным картофелем, чтобы сохранить их теплыми. Такого больше не бывает по причине здоровья, но рыба и чипсы по−прежнему остаются самым любимым британским фаст−фудом.
Рыба с жареной картошкой появилась на улицах Лондона и других городов в 1850−х годах, а первые магазины, которые их продавали − в 1860−х годах. Самый популярный вид рыбы − треска, но возможны и другие виды белой рыбы. Они готовят рыбу в горячем масле и едят ее с чипсами, на которые люди кладут соль или томатный соус. Некоторые люди едят хлеб с маслом со своей рыбой и чипсами.
Рыба с жареным картофелем очень популярна у отдыхающих на побережье, даже если погода настолько холодная, что им приходится есть их, сидя в своих машинах! Иногда люди выбирают рыбу с жареной картошкой в выходные дни, вместо того, чтобы готовить дома.
Любимая закуска (быстрое питание между приемами пищи) в Британии − это печеный картофель, или «картофель в мундире», то есть картофель, приготовленный с оставленной на нем кожурой. «Картофель в мундире» идет сверху с маслом, сыром или бобами. Сегодня вы можете купить много других видов быстрого питания, например, гамбургеры и жареную курицу из США, пиццу из Италии и шашлыки с Ближнего Востока. Вы можете выбрать «съесть на месте» или «забрать с собой».
Сэндвичи (купленные или домашние) составляют быстрый обед и также очень популярны. Их легко взять в школу или на работу. Слово «сэндвич» происходит от человека Джона Монтегю. Он был четвертым графом Сэндвича и жил в восемнадцатом веке в английском городе Сэндвич. Он любил долго играть в игры за столом, не переставая кушать. Поэтому его повар положил немного говядины между двумя кусками хлеба и сделал первый сэндвич.
1. Британцы больше не продают рыбу и чипсы в газете, потому что _.
а) он не может долго держать их в тепле
b) это не модный вид обертки
c) это может быть опасно для людей
2. Рыба с жареной картошкой появилась впервые _ .
а) в Лондоне, а затем в других городах Британии
b) в некоторых городах Британии, а затем в ее столице
c) в британских городах в середине 19 века
3. Рыба с жареным картофелем является _.
а) столь же популярный среди англичан, как «картофель в мундире»
b) более популярна у англичан, чем «картошка в мундире»
c) менее популярны у англичан, чем «картошка в мундире»

The naming goes back a long way- 1726. It was named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, an 18th-century English aristocrat, although he was neither the inventor nor sustainer of the food. It is said that he ordered his valet to bring him meat tucked between two pieces of bread, and because Montagu also happened to be the Fourth Earl of Sandwich, others began to order «the same as Sandwich!»
The classic answer is that it is named for a habit of the Earl of Sandwich, who when engrossed in games of chance, would not spare time for eating a formal meal, so he would put any meat being served between two slabs of bread and eat that while wagering.
The word sandwich first came from London, when a man named John Montagu when he was to busy gambling even though he was hungry. He told the waiter to get him a piece of roast beef between two pieces of bread, and that was the first sandwich supposedly.

Sandwich is a city in England: Here is the story of how we invented the sandwich.
The sandwich is named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, an eighteenth-century English aristocrat. It is said that he ordered his valet to bring him meat tucked between two pieces of bread.
It’s not clear why the English politician John Montagu, a.k.a. the 4th Earl of Sandwich, became the namesake of the food we call a sandwich. The first known use of the word “sandwich” comes from the diary of the English historian Edward Gibbon. On November 24, 1762, he wrote about seeing men eating “a bit of cold meat, or a Sandwich,” but there is no mention of the earl being the namesake.
Then in the early 1770s, the French travel writer Pierre-Jean Grosley published a gossipy and satirical book called A Tour to London; Or New Observations on England and its Inhabitants. In it, Grosely described a scene at a gambling table: “A minister of state passed four and twenty hours at a public gaming-table, so absorpt in play, that, during the whole time, he had no subsistence but a bit of beef, between two slices of toasted bread, which he eat (sic) without ever quitting the game. This new dish grew highly in vogue, during my residence in London: it was called by the name of the minister, who invented it.”
The word “sandwich” does not appear in Grosely’s book, but many people assumed the scene in the book (which Grosely may have made up) referred to the 4th Earl of Sandwich. In any case, the name—which people like Gibbon were already using—caught on. By at least the mid-19th century, “sandwich” was so common that English-speaking people were using it as a verb to describe the process of placing something in between two other things, as if one were making a sandwich.
After English speakers adopted the word “sandwich,” they began coming up with new words and phrases to describe different types, from meaty Sloppy Joes to the layered club sandwich. The first known recipe for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich appeared in 1901 in The Boston Cooking School Magazine of Culinary Science & Domestic Economics. During the 1920s, companies began to mass-manufacture peanut butter in the United States, and targeted children as potential new consumers. This helped make the PB&J a common school lunch.
The po’ boy is another sandwich that gained popularity in the United States in the early 20th century, though its origin is little more contested. The famous Louisiana sandwich consists of French bread and a hearty filling, often in the form of fried seafood.
Benny and Clovis Martin, who opened a restaurant in New Orleans in the early 1920s, reportedly claimed that they invented the po’ boy sandwich during a 1929 streetcar drivers’ strike, during which they said they gave away free sandwiches to the “poor boys” who were on strike. But there are records of similar sandwiches going back to the mid-19th century, and the po’ boy may have gotten its name prior to the 1929 strike.As sandwich chain restaurants proliferated in the late 20th century, national rivalries emerged. In 1964, the first Blimpie restaurant opened in Hoboken, New Jersey. The next year, Pete’s Super Submarines—which would later become Subway—opened in Bridgeport, Connecticut.The two restaurants sold submarine sandwiches, a type of sandwich with many different regional nicknames (sub, hoagie, grinder, hero, etc.) that itself has a contested history. Over the next few decades, the two restaurants sought to corner the submarine sandwich market amid a growing field of similar restaurant chains.

The sandwich (item of food consisting of two pieces of bread with a filling between them) is named after the British statesman John Montagu (1718-92), 4th Earl of Sandwich.
It is generally said that the sandwich was invented because he once spent twenty-four hours at the gaming-table without other refreshment than some slices of beef placed between slices of toast.
However, this rests on an isolated text, a passage from Londres (Lausanne, 1770), by the French man of letters and travel writer Pierre-Jean Grosley (1718-85). Grosley’s residence in London was in 1765, and he speaks of the noun sandwich as having then lately come into use:
original text:
Les Anglois profonds, violens, outrés dans toutes leurs passions, portent celle du jeu à l’extrême : on nomme plusieurs lords très-riches qui s’y sont absolument ruinés : d’autres prennent sur les affaires, sur le repos, sur leur santé le temps qu’ils lui donnent. Un ministre d’Etat passa 24 heures dans un jeu public, toujours occupé au point que, pendant ces 24 heures, il ne vécut que de quelques tranches de bœuf grillé, qu’il se faisoit servir entre deux rôties de pain & qu’il mangeoit sans quitter le jeu. Ce nouveau mets prit faveur pendant mon séjour à Londres : on le baptisa du nom du ministre qui l’avoit imaginé, pour économiser le temps.
literal translation [note 1]:
The English, deep, violent, excessive in all their passions, carry that for gaming to the extreme; several wealthy lords are named whom it brought to absolute ruin; others take from the business, from the rest, from their health the time that they give to it. A Minister of State spent twenty-four hours at a gaming house, always absorbed to such an extent that, during those twenty-four hours, he only lived on some slices of grilled beef, that he got served between two slices of toast and that he ate without quitting the game. This new dish grew in favour during my residence in London; it was named after the minister who invented it, to save time.
In The Insatiable Earl: A Life of John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, 1718-1792 (London, 1993), the British historian Nicholas Andrew Martin Rodger (born 1949) explains why he disagrees with Grosley’s account:
There is no supporting evidence for this piece of gossip, and it does not seem very likely that it has any foundation, especially as it refers to 1765, when Sandwich was a Cabinet minister and very busy. There is no doubt, however, that he was the real author of the sandwich, in its original form using salt beef [note 2], of which he was very fond. The alternative explanation is that he invented it to sustain himself at his desk, which seems plausible since we have ample evidence of the long hours he worked from an early start, in an age when dinner was the only substantial meal of the day, and the fashionable hour to dine was four o’clock.
The earliest known occurrence of the noun sandwich is from the journal of the English historian Edward Gibbon (1737-94)—the fact that he used this noun in a way showing that it was already well established in 1762 contradicts Grosley’s affirmation that the sandwich grew in favour during his residence in London in 1765:
(1841 edition)
November 14, 1762. I dined at the Cocoa Tree with Holt, who, under a great appearance of oddity, conceals more real honour, good sense, and even knowledge, than half those who laugh at him. We went thence to the play (The Spanish Friar), and, when it was over, returned to the Cocoa Tree. That respectable body, of which I have the honour to be a member, affords every evening a sight truly English. Twenty or thirty, perhaps, of the first men of the kingdom in point of fashion and fortune, supping at little tables covered with a napkin, in the middle of a coffee-room, upon a bit of cold meat or a sandwich, and drinking a glass of punch. At present we are full of king’s councillors and lords of the bedchamber, who, having jumped into the Ministry, make a very singular medley of their old principles and language with their modern ones.
Notes:
1 A less literal translation is found in A Tour to London; or, New Observations on England and its Inhabitants. By M. Grosley (London, 1772), by the Irish historian and travel writer Thomas Nugent (circa 1700-1772):
The English, who are profound thinkers, violent in their desires, and who carry all their passions to excess, are altogether extravagant in the article of gaming: several rich noblemen are said to have ruined themselves by it: others devote their whole time to it, at the expence [sic] of their business, their repose and their health. A minister of state passed four and twenty hours at a public gaming-table, so absorpt [sic] in play that, during the whole time, he had no subsistence but a bit of beef, between two slices of toasted bread, which he eat [sic] without ever quitting the game. This new dish grew highly in vogue, during my residence in London: it was called by the name of the minister, who invented it.
