THESE ARE AMERICA’S FAVORITE SANDWICHES *
Hristina Byrnes

Sandwiches are a comfort food staple, a go-to snack and meal for
millions of people. The popular story is that we have John Montagu, the
4th Earl of Sandwich, to thank for that. He often asked for meat and
bread together because he could eat them without walking away from the
gambling table. But the idea of meat, cheese, and other ingredients
between slices of bread may actually come from Turkey and Greece.

There is some data suggesting Americans consume as many as 300 million sandwiches a day. Considering the U.S. population is 330 million, on
average, just about every American eats a sandwich every day.

So which one is the best? Though the answer is obviously subjective,
some types are more popular than others. To compile a list of Americans' favorite sandwiches, 24/7 Tempo reviewed a survey conducted by YouGov,
which surveyed a representative sample of 1,223 people.

Sandwich preferences vary considerably across the country. For example,
people living in the South like grilled cheese more than the national
average -- 82% compared to 79% across the U.S.

People from the Northeast prefer the lobster roll by a large margin --
46% regionally compared to 35% nationally. The French dip, which is not
at the top of the national ranking, is among the favorites in the West,
with 57% liking it compared to 46% nationwide.

* What some people might consider to be the two most popular American sandwiches of all, incidentally -- the hot dog and hamburger -- weren’t considered by that YouGov survey. Though people were asked if they
should. Most agreed that a hamburger should be considered a sandwich,
but that a hot dog should not.

The muffuletta sandwich was introduced to Americans, specifically those
