Has anyone ever had canned brown bread? I remember decades ago my mom buying it and I got a hankering for it (with cream cheese spread). I looked in the local supermarket, but didn't see any. I asked the manager and he said, "We got rid of all that old-fashioned stuff years ago."

B&M still markets it (they are well-known for canned baked beans), but you can only order online from their page - also there is a minimum order amount. I can't order online (no credit card). I am also no great shakes as a baker as well as requiring specialty flours and baking containers which I also do not know where to obtain. I tried doing a web search to see where it might be around here in a brick-and-mortar store. Results - inconclusive.

I've had it and I still see it in the grocery store next to the B&M beans.

I always thought it was a little bit expensive and a little bit tough textured.

I would head for the in store bakery and pick up a couple of fresh baked bran muffins.

Good luck!
 
I've had that, never liked it. The canned bread I adored was:

Or Crosse & Blackwell brand date nut bread. Spread with cream cheese it was wonderful!, neither are being made anymore.

Some blog said the Vermont Country Store had it; very expensive and it was awful. It was made by some company just for them.
 

We had this discussion a few weeks ago on another site I am on. Everyone was saying that our local Safeway carries it but I looked and didn`t find it. Only found the B&M Baked Beans. I`ll have to ask on there if anybody actually found it.
 
I forgot about that bread. Used to love it when I was a kid. I believe it had dates in it. I'll check the stores here. Would like to try it again. Thanks for triggering a memory, deb.
 
We had B&M Brown Bread a lot growing up in New England. I liked butter and/or cream cheese on it. Saturday night ham and beans with Brown Bread.
I can find it in our base commissary however last time I was in it had been moved to the closeout aisle so I grabbed the last two cans in case they discontinued it.
I have found it at Harris Teeter but expensive.
There are some things I would gather when I visited Massachusetts. Brown Bread, Marshmallow Fluff in the white plastic jar and blue cover, salt cod, and sometimes lobster in a can.
I've never seen the date nut bread but I love to make it. I use dates in oatmeal with walnuts.

Its sold all over the Internet. Open a bank account (or better yet a credit union free checking account), get their debit card, and learn how to do online shopping. Buying local is fine and dandy, but having to only buy local is the pits!
