Video games are the passion of all of us, but it is also a fact that playing games is a very time-consuming endeavor. So, how do players come up with solutions to use their time effectively?
You may have heard how the sandwich/burger/bread method of food culture that dominates the whole world today emerged. An English nobleman, who was very fond of playing with his friends, developed a practical method of feeding, so as not to have to devote time to food rituals, which took a lot of time at that time: feeding between bread, that is, sandwiches… As you can imagine, although this lords, dukes, archdukes, nobles are a group of employees who constantly prepare food in the kitchen for the nobles, all his guests, his playmates, Sitting at the table with his family and eating at that equipped table with waxing service rituals is a process that takes hours. As a matter of fact, John Montagu, the count of England’s Sandwich region in the 1750s, asks his cook to prepare practical foods that will be consumed quickly and will not force him to get away from his game for a long time. And that’s how the cook invented our bread-to-bread feeding method. As they put meat, fish, chicken, vegetables in the bread and serve them, the British nobles in the region love this new way of feeding. And as a result, this new method becomes famous all over the world under the name Sandwich.
