The beauty about sandwiches is that every combination turns out to be something new. Even the inclusion of different varieties of tomatoes, cucumber, onions and beetroot brings out a variety of flavours that you probably wouldn’t have heard of before. While the classic Mumbai sandwich is really popular, over the years, people have made many unique variations of it. Some of them are inspired by the classic vegetable sandwich, others take the opportunity to elevate it to the next level. 

Every year, people around the world celebrate Sandwich Day on November 3, as it falls on the birthday of Englishman John Montagu, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich. While the history of how he is connected to the origin of the sandwich is debatable, one’s love for the sandwich in Mumbai has become popular over time in more ways than one – with the chutney sandwich and open toast being among the other variations.
