B & M Brown Bread in a can. Anybody ever eat this stuff?

You could use that as a side when you serve up one of these.

It was a different brand but my great grandfather would buy whole chicken in a can occasionally. I can't say I recall how it tasted but I do remember he would make vegetable soup and put a whole canned chicken in it, bones and all. It was like eating fish, watch for bones.
He also introduced me to eggs and (hog) brains for breakfast. He prefered fresh brains from the butcher shop and would only use canned brains if fresh were not available, but he'd rinse them in cold water to wash off all the milk they were packed in before chopping them up to cook with scrambled eggs.

I've had it. It's very dense and dry

Not as good as a nice warm spotted dick I'm sure.

Spotted Dick with custard is great!

For those saying it's dry, you're meant to cut slices and toast and butter them. That's how I used to eat it, anyway.

Since B&M brown bread doesn't have loads of sugar or salt or fat, the pleasure afforded by its darkly spicy flavor is modest. It's not addictive. Thus, it's like an echo of an earlier time, from the days before "snack" manufacturers figured out how to profit massively from exploiting those cravings.

Canned brown bread for some reason reminds me of my earliest youth, when my parents would occasionally take me to the local drug store and treat me to a Pepsi-Cola; four ounces or so, served in a white paper cone.

I make my own brown bread sometimes. Most recipes want you to use a can to make it. I use a loaf pan and it turns out decent. Toasted with butter or cream cheese and you have a tasty snack! The one I make isn't dry on it's own, but it is chewy. That's the doing of the molasses.

If you want an interesting flavor adventure with molasses, look up shoofly pie. When it comes to baking, those Pennsylvania Dutch are geniuses!

My first wife was from Amish country originally. The shoefly pie from their bakeries was .

I love watching on Cutthroat Kitchen when that comes up as a sabotage.

Our Kroger has the raisin variety. I may give it a go. What's the worst that could happen?

If others are curious, check the baked bean section of your local supermarket. Since gin1955 can find it at Kroger's in Ohio (and the Giant supermarket down the street from me in Baltimore stocks it), chances are pretty good that it's available in many if not most supermarkets in the US.

But remember the serving suggestions: toast it by the slice and then top it with butter or (as suggested above) creamcheese.

I love shoofly pie.

Honestly I don't believe I have ever seen this stuff in person in nearly 60 years in Texas and Massachusetts.

There have been a lot of foods canned - for example, canned tamales. Doesn't necessarily mean, however, that they're good - for example, canned tamales.

 

[bholder]

Given it's name and description, I'd be very wary of that stuff...

It's perfectly ok and safe to eat and even on the tasty side - somewhere in the range of molasses pumpernickel - tastes yummy toasted with butter. Then again, so does everything.

I guess it's great for a bug-out-bag, or storm cellar. In the event of a dystopian future where cockroaches and Peavey amps rule the world it'll be a commodity.

Since the start of the Covid lockdown I've been making bread regularly (usually a no-knead, but also pita, and naan), and it is so cheap, simple, and delicious it makes anything store bought pale in comparison.
Rod for my own back, though. 'er indoors refuses to eat store-bought pita, and naan now.

Honestly, I don't eat bread. That said, the ingredients in this bread are better than the vast majority of loaf bread out there. If you're going to eat bread, this one has less garbage in it than most.

Read the ingredients list on your favorite loaf bread and get back to me if you can pronounce some of them (unless you go out of your way to get "good" bread).

I noticed the simple ingredients right off. Gives me hope.

Fixed.

So it's basically the fruitcake of bread?

 

[FilterFunk]

Fixed.

I was just about to do the same fix!

Don't get personal!



Oh, the bread.....



How's your shoo fly pie, Amish?

Shoo fly is on my list of least favorite pies.
