Chocolate Bars
Although chocolate was already used as an ingredient in desserts and drinks, before 1847 you couldn\’t eat it on its own. Fry\’s, a British chocolate company who still produce chocolate today, were the first clever clogs to make a chocolate bar in 1847. Oh and they also invented the first ever chocolate Easter egg!

Sandwiches
Yup, the simple sandwich. No one put food between two slices of bread before the British! It\’s amazing to think about it, isn\’t it? The sandwich is named after the 4th Earl of Sandwich because he invented it in the 18th century to keep his belly full while he was playing cards.
