The 4th Earl of Sandwich also has the Sandwich Islands, part of the Hawaiin group, named after him. A portable snack and a few islands - quite a result for a man whose policies as First Sea Lord (they don't name them like that anymore) almost ruined the British Navy.

It's quite fortunate that the 4th Earl resided in Sandwich, and not Wetwang in Yorkshire, or we'd all be eating cheese and ham wetwangs.
