Episode two: This week we look at something that I have always been interested in; bread in can. It's a new england favorite... brown bread with raisins. The twist on this little favorite is this stuff was backed in can. What a concept!
This time our "research trip" took us to Winco Foods:
Brown bread seems to have basically great ingredients like whole wheat flour and molasses.
Opening the can was not a problem, but extracting the bread was not quite as easy as the direction on the can indicated. "Gently pushing it out with a spoon" did not quite cut it. As you can see from the pictures it broke, but I think I can do better next time.
Serving suggestions for this product ranged from toasting and spreading with cream cheese and/or peanut butter to cheese spreads and luncheon meat.
Our taste test included it toasted and spread with butter and peanut butter (individually). It tasted quite good! As you would expect brown bread with raisins to taste. Based on that and difficult extraction aside, I'd recommend it.
