If you grew up in the South, chances are you\u2019ve heard of a tomato sandwich. I\u2019ve never received more passionate answers regarding a sandwich than when I asked my friends and family about this food item. Tomatoes sandwiches are loved and cherished by many. When the sandwich is brought up with friends, expect a story about how their grandma made them in the summertime during their childhood. The nostalgia is a real treat!<\/p>\n

These sandwiches are enjoyed throughout summer due to the abundance of fresh, ripe tomatoes and have grown in popularity over the years. The earliest reference to the tomato sandwich came from The Virginia Chronicle<\/em> in 1911, where a man described his lunch as a tomato sandwich, a slice of watermelon, iced tea and a slice of coconut cream pie<\/a>.<\/p>\n
