I had a feeling I was saying something stupid. I probably should have known that. Guess I'm just hungry Thanks Javan Rhino, for answering by question, and refraining from making a joke.
Your question has already been answered, but it wasn't a stupid question at all; not coming from England, there is absolutely no reason why you should have known.
Sandwich (the town) indrectly gave its name to the popular picnic item - the 4th Earl of Sandwich reputedly invented it by asking for a bit of meat between two slices of bread so that he could eat at the gambling table rather than taking breaks for meals!
The same Earl of Sandwich also had some Pacific Islands named after him - the Sandwich Islands, now better known as Hawaii. The 'Sandwich' name lives in on the scientific name of the Hawaiian Goose/Ne-Ne - Branta sandvicensis.
The Sandwich Tern, Thalasseus sandvicensis, however, is named after the town.
All that's not really relevant, but quite interesting!
