      I think the sandwich…the wraps were a truly scientific breakthrough though… I love them :).

      Definitely the sandwich- the wrap is a modern sandwich

      The wrap deffo! Wraps are based on flatbreads which were around long before yeast risen bread as we know it. The Sandwich was inverted by the Earl of Sandwich in 1762 during a game of cards.

      The wrap – by about two thousand years!

      I think it depends on what part of the world you’re in. Here, I would say the sandwich. In Eastern countries it was probably the wrap.
