LoginJam Sandwich
A jam sandwich is usually composed of two slices of bread, butter or margarine, and jam (traditionally strawberry) which is normally consumed at lunchtime or as a quick "snack." In the United States the phrase jam sandwich commonly refers to a toast sandwich.
Jam sandwiches are thought to have originated at around the 19th century in the United Kingdom. In Scotland they are known as pieces and jam or jeely pieces. The jam sandwich was an affordable food which was a major part of the diets of the lower/working-class people of cities such as London and Glasgow. One plausible reason for this was that the ingredients that the jam sandwiches were made from cost little to manufacture and due to taxes being lifted on sugar in 1880, it became widely available as a cheap foodstuff.
Today, jam sandwiches are mainly consumed by children. Shops do not often sell individual jam sandwiches.
