I was puzzled when I saw a big coffee can for sale at a farm stand that claimed to be brown bread with raisins. I asked Tom if what was in the can was pre-made batter or something, and he was stunned that I could ask such a thing!
So we bought a can!
For those of you who haven't had it -- you open the can and this cylinder of bread is in there. You have to tap it out.
Apparently it's not baked so much as steamed (I'm not totally clear on that part) which means it's great to heat up in the microwave (makes it really moist!). It tastes like molasses. Melt a bit of butter on it ... mmmm!
I'm sure none of this is news to all the New Englanders reading this (and probably others as well!) but it was definitely a nice thing to discover!
