I Like Mine With Bread! Trivia Quiz

Answer: Cheese Dream

Cheese Dream sandwiches were very popular during the Great Depression in the United States as a dish for Sunday supper. They were, however, probably eaten earlier as a 1918 article in "Good Housekeeping" mentions the Cheese Dream as a luncheon dish. Its popularity was probably due to the fact that it is easy to make, either on top of the stove, in the oven, or under a broiler, and the variety of additional ingredients that can be placed on the sandwich, including tomatoes, pickles, olives, bacon, eggs, or whatever else one likes to eat. Today there are many different variations that use different types of bread.

Answer: Manwich

The Manwich was introduced by ConAgra Foods and Hunt's in 1969 and is named for the use of the canned sauce produced by the company.
