Do you know where these words come from?

TEA: As you already know, it is the most popular drink in Britain. It was discovered 5.000 years ago by a Chinese emperor. While he was resting under a Camellia tree, a leaf fell into his pot of boiling water. In the 17th century, English sailors brought tea to Britain.


SANDWICH: The Earl of Sandwich (18th century) loved playing cards and he hated having to stop this game for his meals. One day he had an idea: to put meat between two slices of bread. In this way he could eat and play cards at the same time. So, it is because of the Earl of Sandwich that today we call this delicious food "sandwiches".


RESTAURANT: It was used the first time to describe a soup invented by a French cook in the 16th century. It was a tasty soup with a lot of spices which "restored" you. In 1760 a French cook opened an inn in Paris and called it "restaurant", like the famous soup.


KETCHUP: is a spicy sauce based on tomatoes, onions, vinegar and sugar. It wasn´t an American invention. It was originally a Chinese sauce called "Ke Tsiap".
