I love brown bread. It’s basically a molasses heavy quick bread baked/steamed in a can, goes great with salt and butter and toasted.

I’ve always wanted to make this, but the recipes seem to hinge on you having a particular size can that isn’t common, and then there are the concerns about BPA. I’ve looked into getting a mold that is meant for baking just to make this, though of course I could try just making it as a regular loaf.

My first pumpkin sourdough looked worse

I had brown bread icecream in Ireland and it was bomb … just vanilla with actual bits of real brown bread. I was surprised at how good it was.

BROWN BREAD FOREVER!
I love the raisin one. Hasn’t been the same since B&M moved out of southern Maine, but I still buy it regularly.

Slice that shit, butter it, and slap it in a hot frying pan. So damn good. Ate it all the time as a kid with hot dogs, mac and cheese, and baked beans (well, I hate beans, I didn’t eat that part). I have friends who also like it slathered with a bit of cream cheese.
Brown bread for life! You can pry it from my cold dead fingers.

Looks very intriguing, I’d 100% try that with salt and butter (and I say this as someone who has never seen anything like that before, no childhood memories attached, no acquired tastes, I grew up on typical Russian-style rye bread).

Hell yeah. Fellow New Englander here, brown bread rules. IMO it’s more popular than you’re giving it credit for, I’ve seen it in most grocery stores I’ve gone into in MA, NH, and VT. It’s a delight, I sure hope it isn’t dying out.
Outside of New England though, yeah seems to be pretty much unheard of.

My grandma used to make her own brown bread and it was so good. A great food memory for me.

My family used to vacation in New Hampshire and we always got this as a special treat. I love it.

Brown bread in a can is so much better than it has any right to be!!!! Definitely a niche New England food!

I learned about this in the books for one of the American Girl dolls and became obsessed with it. That was like twenty years ago and I haven’t thought about it in a long time—gotta make it now!

Is this what Squidward ate in the suburbs

Was always the first thing I’d reach for in a canned goods drive as a kid but would eat the heck out of it now. Was always lurking in the darkest corners of an Ocean State Job Lot – why were the cans always so dusty if everyone was apparently eating this?!

My mom used to serve this along with sausage, braised cabbage, potato pancakes, and apple sauce. It was so good!

I think I’ve seen Steve MRE info eat this

I remember going to my buddy’s house who would eat this (up in Portland, Maine, home of BnM)… He pulled it out of his fridge and then whipped it in the air until there was just enough for a slice, and with one clean swipe, he had a nice little snack ready to go. By the way he did it, you could tell that he had done that move a thousand times before. He was a canned bread pro. I’ll never forget that moment.

Fellow fan from california. Everyone I know thinks I’m a weirdo for liking it. It’s especially great with cream cheese.

If you’re hating on it you haven’t tried it. Shit is fire deluxe

I like the one with raisins!

Anything toasted with butter is good.
Come on folks- don’t yuck each others yum!

What’s it taste like? Is it very sweet? Like cornbread or something? Is it dry or very moist?

In the 1980s I worked at a small Alaskan charter outfit. One of the pilots would have canned brown bread schmeared with ricotta for lunch every day. If you don’t have a toaster nearby, it’s pretty good.
