A "sandwich" contains no sand. We know the etymology. It was named after John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich. What is a better name?

It is said that he loved to play cards and did not want to stop to eat so he asked for bits of meat between two slices of bread so he could continue playing cards and eat without the need to use utensils or get his fingers greasy. Even so there must be a much better name. What would YOU name it?

    That is seriously impressive Ele. I see you had a source for it. I thought for a moment there you actually went to the beach to make that sculptur and then photograph just for me! Thank you for sharing it. There are birds called Sandpipers. Maybe that's something in which they'd be interested. Of course there are also Sand dollars. Sandstorms. Sand dunes. Sand painting. Sand paper. As for witches the one that stands out most is the meanie with the wart on her nose from The Wizard of Oz. There was also the Good Witch and she was beautiful. Which witch is which? Thank you for your reply and Happy Thursday!:)
