Today we have a field report from a fellow grubworm. Read about his experience with canned bread.

Bread in a can? You bet! And it’s good stuff.
B&M Canned Brown Bread. (http://www.bgfoods.com/bm/bm_products.asp)
I kept seeing this in the grocery stores in NY and MA. Finally, I broke down and bought a can. It’s fascinating stuff. It’s baked right in the can, so it’s very moist. It’s definitely not sandwich bread. Nothing light and fluffy here. It’s so moist, it’s almost like a cake. A very heave cake! And it’s a bit crumbly. Like European brown bread, it has a strong taste. If it’s possible for bread to have a faint black licorice smell, that’s what it reminded me of – but don’t worry, it dosen’t taste like licorice!
It goes very good with beanie weenies! Would be good with chili, or bean soup, too, in place of corn bread (you do like to crumble a piece of corn bread into your chili or bean soup, right? If not, what’s the matter with you?!).
This would be an excellent addition to camping or survival grub, as it has a long shelf life since it’s hermetically sealed even before it’s cooked! I can’t wait to try some fried up in a cast iron skillet over a bed of coals. Bliss!
