B&M Brown Bread With Raisins

[zelph]

You Easterners should be able to give me some good ways to prepare this as a trail snack. A local store here in the midwest says it's a seasonal item, fall winter type of thing. I'll be looking for it locally today in other stores. Comes in a can, ready to eat. What is shelf life once opened and kept in ziplocs? Can it be sliced and fried with olive/coconut oil?

Shelf life is slightly less than other types of bread due to the extra sugar (molasses). You can fry it with oil, but butter works much better. Just put a stick in one of these tubes:

I've not seen these tubes before. Where can they be found?

Walmart, REI, Amazon, and lots of other places. Do a Google search for "Coghlan's Squeeze Tubes" and the first result will be their sponsored link: "Shop for Coghlan's Squeeze Tubes on Google".

I was raised on Friday night baked beans and brown bread. (Dad was from Mass.) Haven't had the bread in years, but it was pretty dense, so should pack well.

So was I (raised on it) and so was my dad (from Fall River). Every Friday night it was burgers, B&M baked beans, and brown bread (cold with thick chunks of butter "spread" on.
I can't imagine it would travel long or well without the can....too moist and fragile....but what a treat it would be.

I've read that it lasts a couple of years in the can (best by date), and about 4 days once opened.

Seven kids and one can.....4 minutes once opened

I was able to pickup 3 cans today and will try it with butter. Look at the calorie content.

Why don't you just eat 1.3 tablespoons of sugar?
Same thing.

Not in terms of taste. Nowhere close.

You must not be from New England.


Grew up on the stuff. Sliced out of the can no need to fry just slather on a nice amount of good butter eat wash down with coffee. Had it somewhat recently stuff isn't anywhere as good as it used to be.

I would try slicing into 1/2" rounds, then cutting rounds in 6 like a pizza. Next dehydrate in slow (150 degree) oven or a dehydrator if you have it until crisp. Store in glass jar (old spaghetti sauce jars work well) until hike, when you switch to a ziplock. Dip in honey butter and snack on. Honey butter- 2-3 parts butter to 1 part honey to your taste of course, cinnamon is a good add on and is anti inflammatory.

Cant wait to find this item and try above myself. I love to eat!

I cut it into 1/2" thick rounds. 1st one I ate covered thick with butter

2nd one I ate with peanut butter by taking small bites with different amounts of peanut butter per bite. Had to do that because the 1st bite had too much peanut butter and could not taste the bread.

3rd slice I had with honey.

Of the 3, I preferred the one with peanut butter. It will only get better with a "crunch" brand of peanut butter.

All were good. Will have it more often. Will try frying it and toasting also.

My wife tried it with peanut butter, liked it but said it had a too heavy taste of molasses. Would only have it once a year

65 calories per ounce, and you have to pack the can out? no thanks.

Take contents out at home, place in ziploc. No can to pack out. Add extra raisins and add peanut butter...what's not to like :-)

Here is a concept: take it out of the can.

This morning I simmered 2 pieces in salted sweet cream butter. Simmered both sides till I thought was well enough ;-)Put dollops of black cherry Activia yogurt on top of them along with a couple walnut halves. 90% of the molasses taste had vanished. Twas a delightsome breakfast.

Been a long time since I had that bread. I remember it as dense, but tasty. No idea what the shelf life would be though.

Yesterday and today I had it toasted with butter. Gets better everyday :-) It is dense, but tastes great as the testing goes on. Stays moist uncovered in fridge. Will get some cream cheese for it today. One end of the loaf is not flat and that end is a little less moist.
