5. Love the stuff! Toasted with butter, cream cheese, peanut butter, just about any spread. My

Favorite however is as a bed for franks and beans!

17. Hearty! How long is the shelf life of it?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

20. A half life of ten thousand years! 😏

Actually the use by date is usually three to four years in the future!

[hlthe2b]

23. well, twinkies probably are good for that long...

[Floyd R. Turbo]

24. At least! 👍🏻

[samnsara]

35. toasted with butter..beans and franks on the side ( cant touch my bread!)

[sprinkleeninow]

52. I am with you on this. I love it and have made my own. It's

involved but worth it. Like so much that takes some doing, but in the end, totally worth it! 😋

[Floyd R. Turbo]

6. Your local market may order it for you. Or there's Amazon.

10. date nut bread in a can -- with cream cheese.

ah, brings back memories.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

11. Yum! 😋

[RobinA]

39. It Does!

Introduced to me by my Grandmother in the ‘60’s. Yum. I might have to look for that tomorrow when I go to the store.

12. We knew it as Boston Brown Bread.

Sometimes we had the store bought cans, but they were a poor substitute for my grandma's recipe that was steamed in a large can in the pressure cooker. It was a genuine homemade treat served at breakfast or with tea or a hot toddy for a snack. We always made a flavored butter, like Orange-Honey, Molasses or Maple Butter to go with it.

Haven't made it for years, but now I'm wanting some. I'd have to order more molasses, and the rye and whole wheat flours, but it only takes about 40 minutes to cook 2-3 big cans in the pressure cooker.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

14. Boston Brown Bread is what we called it as well! 😋

[wryter2000]

19. Yup

My grandma from Mass would heat it in butter in a frying pan until it was toasted. Loved it. We always had Friends brand. My grandma could remember when the Friends brothers sold beans from their horse drawn wagon in Boston..

[Thomas Hurt]

13. spice cake in can?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

15. Like it but never had it from a can! 😋

[sinkingfeeling]

16. I like it with old fashioned oven baked beans.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

21. 😋

[Laffy Kat]

18. OK with butter or a touch of cream cheese. nt

25. Love the stuff. Grew up on it. (nt)

[Floyd R. Turbo]

26. 😋

[braddy]

27. Expensive, but I love that it is in a can.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

28. It's usually around $2.00 a can here! 😋

[braddy]

29. Having a few cans for emergencies would sure make the canned spam go down easier.

31. There's only one way to eat Boston brown bread

With New England baked beans, and they have to be THESE baked beans:



If you're not going to eat them from a jar, you may as well get Bush's. B&M in a can is still good...but it's just not the same.

[samnsara]

34. i have never seen those..

..are they sold out West?

[jmowreader]

36. I've bought them in the Northwest at Fred Meyer

They also have Spotted Dick and HP Sauce. Unfortunately, they're real thin on their Korean food assortment, which is a shame because Korean cuisine is getting popular in the US.

[sprinkleeninow]

53. That's the ticket! None like them beans. Ah, New Englanders....🤗 Of which I used to be one. 😔

[LeftInTX]

30. I don't think I've had that for 50 years or so

Something we had when we were young, but it just kinda disappeared from our lives.

I remember liking it, but I had completely forgot it even existed.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

42. Now you know! 😋

[MissMillie]

32. It's only good w/o the raisins

raisins are

[Floyd R. Turbo]

43. What are you, some kind of

grape agest?😢

[samnsara]

33. i LOVE Boston Brown Bread..when I was in England and I got some sliced blood pudding

at breakfast...I thought it was Boston Brown Bread. It wasnt.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

44. I love blood puddings! 😋

37. A friend of mine from Austria absolutely HATED "American Bread"

I gave him a can of B&M Brown Bread as a joke gift.

I thought he was going to have a cow.

"Bread in a can!!!!"

Bah Brrrrrrah Spit...

[Floyd R. Turbo]

45. But did he try it?

[Tipperary]

38. A good friend of mine LOVES that stuff!

I had never heard of it.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

46. And now you have!

[OriginalGeek]

40. My great aunt Nyda made the best nut bread

No dates or raisins, just pure sweet nut bread. She saved cans to make it in. The happiest day in my dad's life was when she relented and gave him the recipe. I got a couple loaves for Christmas every year and was really the only thing I looked forward to. Christmas ain't been the same since they passed.

No idea if the bread in a can is similar but I have pondered it as i strolled down the aisle at my grocery store. Not a fan of raisins though so never pulled the trigger.


There have been fights for the end piece. I don't usually care for the heel on a loaf of bread but this is way different.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

47. Sounds delicious! 😋

[herding cats]

41. I never knew you could buy canned bread before this.

Apparently it's a thing. I've made bread in cans many times before. Who knew they came already done that way?!

I can't vote, but I'm buying me a can of bread to check it out.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

48. Let us know what you think!

[trueblue2007]

49. Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove it! Ate it with beans when I was a girl

[Floyd R. Turbo]

50. The best way! 😋

[Polly Hennessey]

51. 😊 Good.
