Bread in a can

[TyroneFly]

Joe's bread machine thread sent my mind reeling back some years. As a kid I remember Brown Bread In A Can. I believe it was made by the company who makes B&M Baked Beans. Does anyone recall this bread? It was one of my favorite.

Marty,
Here it is;
Brown Bread in a Can: Wholesome, Time-Honored Fare in 2 Flavors

For those who are unfamiliar with brown bread in a can, it may seem like some newfangled, space-age contrivance. But as those lucky enough to have been reared on this wholesome treat can tell you, it's a throwback to old New England.
Made using only natural ingredients
A rich molasses taste
Serve right out of the can or toast, bake, or microwave it
Available in plain or with raisins
B&M's version has been tantalizing taste buds since 1867. Extremely moist and dense, this mouthwatering bread is made using only natural ingredients and has a rich molasses taste that comes through with every bite. Slice and serve right out of the can or, if you prefer, toast, bake, or microwave it. Great with cream cheese, peanut butter and jelly, or flavored cheese spreads topped with cold cuts. Available plain or with raisins. Approx. 8 servings in 16 oz. can.

Somehow I was never introduced to this product. Was/is this a regional item? Growing up we always had homemade breads, or traditional bakery breads made fresh. Never saw bread in a can, but like Brad said, it would be great with my beloved SPAM.

That was one of my childhood favorites as well as ice box cake that was made out of thin chocolate cookies and held together with fresh whipped cream.

TyroneFly -

Remember having it a long time ago, as a kid. Long before it was $8.90 a can.

It was a real treat - didn't have it often.

Kind of like the smoked salmon my Grandfather used to bring to us on his way through Sacramento back to San Francisco from his annual trip to the Klamath Country. He'd trade what salmon he caught to the Native Americans for a lesser weight of locally smoked. The waxed paper wrap would come off as he walked through the front door and the smoked salmon would just disappear.

Gosh, I hadn't thought of that for years.

Thanks for triggering the memory.
