32. We couldn't afford bread when I was a kid, so we ate cake!

Just kidding...Pretty much like others here, earliest memories are of Wonder Bread, switched to Roman Meal around 12 years old (must have been the commercials), later liked dark rye and toasted French bread...

Weird thinking back to those days...I remember I didn't like pizza or cheese but liked green vegetables like broccoli and peas...and sometimes my mom would make us Boston B&M baked bean sandwiches with mayonnaise on Wonder Bread and I liked them. Nowadays I like pizza, cheese is OK still love greens (except lettuce not so much) but hate baked beans!
