And in Australia, the kangaroos will mug you for a Vegemite sandwich.

re,

And then, Sloman will mug the Kangaroo...

It's hard to believe that the myth has persisted for so long. I'd say that the sandwich was invented very shortly after bread was first sliced. I.e., as soon as knives were invented.

"According to history, the earliest bread was made in or around 8000 BC in the Middle East, specifically Egypt."

"The first knives were invented by h*mo sapiens during prehistoric times and were used as weapons, tools and eating utensils. The Oldowon was used up to 2.5 million years ago and is the oldest known knife-like tool to be discovered as of 2014."

The knife came first, apparently.

Google.

Yeah, but when did someone come up with the idea of using the knife to slic e bread? That was a great invention. So much so that people still talk ab out it!

Yeah, I was thinking post posting that stone knives have been around for a long time. According to your post, they're 2-1/2 orders of magnitude older. If I change my post to "metal knives", I'm probably closer to it.

So, you don't know how to research? I'm not going to do your legwork.

1928 for mechanically sliced bread. You don't think it was sliced before that? If not, you can't think for yourself. You're just stirring the pot here.
