PREP B&M bread in a can...

Trying to hang out with the cool kids.
Had some in my pantry. Noticed it was one year past best use date. Can had a dent.

WOW! I have never tasted this product before! Ordered some several years ago because folks said this was a good prep item
and comfort food.

If the poop hits the fan, I will eat some of this with scrambled eggs made from my powdered eggs. (which I like the taste of)
Maybe add a little salsa to the eggs.

I like the Plain brown bread, not the one with raisins.

Good stuff!
Don't worry about the dates. Tastes awfully good, even on a cold winter evening when you want something easy and different to go with supper, or for a quick snack, buttered with coffee or cocoa. Take in the hunting woods, to the cabin, or camping.
True, traditional Americana comfort food in a can.

Amazon sells it by the caser of 12 for a not too bad price. About $4.00/can.

I remember Dennis posted about this a couple of years back. It looked good. I wanted to order some but decided not to due to my high A1C. My A1C is somewhat better now so I think I'll order some. Looks really tasty.

It's really a good keeper for preps/pantry. That is, if you can resist eating it on a regular basis. Haha...I bake quick breads from scratch fairly often in season, but B&M Brown Bread is just so easy. :)

Oh - and cream cheese and/or jam is awesome on it too.

You can even get this stuff in the grocery seasonally here in Florida. That's where and how I picked up my supply. ROFL! It is a no-no for me at the moment but yeah, in a SHTF it would probably be the carb of choice to keep me from tanking out on the Glyburide. :lkick:

You can make your own. The 1 1/2 pint Mason jars have a smooth taper all the way down, so bread baked in them will slide right out. 1 pint wide-mouths will do the same. Logan Bread makes a great bread for this, lasts forever, packed with food value.

A (rare) quick pantry meal growing up was B&M brown bread with B&M baked beans over it. My mom heated the bread in the can somehow (steamed?), opened both ends, & used one end to push the bread out about 1/2 inch to slice it. For some reason that process fascinated me as a child. (Except for heating, it was the same way she sliced up jellied cranberry sauce.) I loved that meal because it was sweet, and didn't require much chewing; I had a thing about texture. :)

I stack B&M bread cases next to my freeze dry stockpile. Along with Red Feather butter, of course.
Not sure if the quality of ingredients has changed over the past 18 years.
One thing I have not done was to compare an old can with a current offering.

$49.39 for 12 cans. Link below. Like everything else, it isn't getting any cheaper.
Haha..and if you won't eat raisins, you'll never survive TEOTWAWKI. :lol:

Yup, it's a very filling bread, made from whole wheat, rye and cornmeal. Much more of a quickbread than a "bread". Heavy, rich, moist, sweet, and you'd better love molasses.

I love it but it's expensive so it's rare to find it in our pantry. A couple cans here are there for a treat is all. If the baloon goes up we'll just have to eat wheat bread like the savages.

Neither here nor there.

The grocery store that carries it up here keeps it on the shelf next to the B&M baked beans. Not really the first place a person would think to look.

Thanks, I'd think it'd be in the bread aisle, I'll have to check my local Fareway/HyVee stores, Walmart doesn't have it in stock.

Here, in New England, it's almost a staple, like (Boston) baked beans. If the shelves ever run out of brown bread or baked beans, basically it's SHTF time.

A can goes for $2.32 at the local WalMart, same price for plain or raisin. Either, toasted to a light crust, then buttered, is how I like it.
