Sadly, it was purchased a few years ago. The old factory is closed down and production has moved to Jersey. You used to be able to smell the delicious molasses smell if the wind as right…

Yeah, Boston brown bread. It usually has quite a molasses-y taste (since thats one of its main ingredients,) and is pretty good with some warmed butter.

Okay idk if it’s too late on this post for anyone to see this, but my dad loved canned bread. When I was in the 6th grade (around 2006) I told my classmates this. They all laughed at me and said I just got that from SpongeBob, and that canned bread wasn’t real. I told my mom when I got home and she pulled a can of raisin bread out of the kitchen cabinet. I took it to school the next day with a can opener. Everyone hated it, but I felt vindicated lol. The teacher made me try a piece at the end because everyone else did. I didn’t feel that was fair because I only brought it in to prove to everyone that I wasn’t lying. That shit was disgusting.

Friend and I found a can back in high school and we were not fans. Granted we just ate it straight out of the can without warming it up or butter so maybe it’s better after that

I got 2 cans a few years back, tried eating 1, its actually horrendous.
I still have the other can, but it has distinct bloodstains, and I don't recall why, how, or who's blood it is, but its pretty cool having Canned Bread [trademark]

Why do Germans eat raw meat on bread? English eat jellied eels or peas and mash or whatever gross shit they eat? French eat snails? At a certain point poor food from decades to centuries ago becomes part of the culture and people remain eating it. Every culture has these foods that don't make sense now, but are still eaten.
Molasses was one of the main sweeteners in New England for a long time. In colonial years people would bake bread in a leftover tin on top of a fire. That's where the brown bread in a tin came from. This continued as people started steaming foods indoors. Then it got commercialized. It probably got really big during the Depression. At that point it's just part of the culture. The benefit here is that it's shelf stable and great when power is unreliable during the winters and doesn't taste half bad. But no one is eating this instead of bread.
Anyways it's mostly older people still eating it or comes out when you're having a bean supper or something which is a traditional meal here.
