Η λέξη της εβδομάδας:

το Σάντουιτς

 

γράφει ο Γιώργος Δαμιανός (24grammata.com)

Τι είναι το Σάντουιτς;

Μη βιαστείτε να απαντήσετε ότι πρόκειται, μόνο, για ένα είδος πρόχειρου φαγητού. Εδώ και αιώνες το Sandwich είναι μια πανέμορφη ιστορική πόλη στη ΝΑ Αγγλία (Κεντ) με πληθυσμό 6800 πολίτες. Ο τέταρτος κόμης του Σάντουιτς, ο Τζον Μόνταγκιου (1718-1792) είχε διατελέσει ως υπουργός Ναυτικών και έμεινε στην Ιστορία ως ο πρώτος άνθρωπος, που “επινόησε” και έδωσε το όνομα του στο συγκεκριμένο είδος φαγητού.

 

Ο Κόμης δεν έχει χρόνο για να φάει...

Η ιστορία της λέξης ξεκινά, από τη στιγμή που ο κόμης του Σάντουιτς δεν ήθελε να λερώσει τα χέρια του και έδωσε εντολή στον υπηρέτη του να βάλει ένα κομμάτι κρέας ανάμεσα σε δύο φέτες ψωμί. Οι “κακεντρεχείς” υποστηρίζουν ότι ο Κόμης ήταν μανιώδης χαρτοπαίκτης και δεν άφηνε ούτε στιγμή την τράπουλα ακόμα και για το φαγητό. Αρχικά, οι συμπαίκτες του ζήτησαν και αυτοί να τρώνε “ το ίδιο με τον σάντουιτς” και στη συνέχεια καθιερώθηκε ως μόδα όχι μόνο μέσα στις χαρτοπαιχτικές λέσχες, αλλά και έξω από αυτές. Πάντως, κατά μία άλλη εκδοχή αρκετά πιο “σεμνότυφη” ο Κόμης του Σάντουιτς δεν ήταν χαρτοπαίχτης, αλλά εργασιομανής και έτρωγε έτσι, γιατί δεν ήθελε να χάνει χρόνο από την εργασία του. για περισσότερα, διαβάστε στο 24grammata.com Α2, από τη ζωή των λέξεων

Attention

--
Sir,
Attention,
It is very unfortunate that these African Banks and the Government monetary
Institutions did really frustrated all your efforts to get your fund
released into your account, regardless of all the fees paid, yet they could
not get this fund released to you.
Now, since none of these fellows has contacted you neither has anyone
requested for the releasing of your fund in the past four weeks and your
fund has been laying here in the Bank as an unclaimed payment. I am thinking
that you and I can possibly move this fund in cash to you by a special US or
EMBASSY emissary,
this arrangement is workable and 100% guaranteed risk free.
Meanwhile, on getting your consent to this possible cash delivery option,
I will therefore intend to implore the services of U.S emissary working with
the U.S Ambassador to convey your package (US$8.5M) to you. This package
will be covered by the U.S Embassy immunity for a safe delivery to you at
your door house. I will also ensure that the delivery is completed without
any impediments.
In view of this, I will assure you that we will follow all International
laid down policy to enable a hitch free delivery to you and this will not
cost you much, as I will make sure we settled the necessary requirements
over here and there.
Please confirm your willingness to this perfect arrangement. Importantly,
this arrangement must be kept only between you and no one else.
Yours truly,
Mr.Stephen Adu-Kwaning
