Just became aware of it. I had not thought it possible. Looks interesting.

 

I just looked at the online site of the grocery store I order from and they have raisin bread in a can. Alas as a diabetic I'll have to pass.

I first ate that over 50 years Ago, my mother used to serve it with baked beans

 

P.S. it’s good backup on a long sailboat cruise

Little Tommy Tucker sings for his supper,

What shall we give him? Brown bread and butter.

How shall he cut it without a knife?

How shall he marry without a wife?

 

 

Apparently "Tommy Tucker" was a colloquialism for an orphan. And with an orphan's low status starting out, it might be difficult to find a wife.

I remember eating it long ago, also topped with baked beans. I'm thinking that I should try it again.

I guess it's because my Dad is from Boston, but I'm surprised that people didn't know about this! Beans and hot dogs, with the brown bread, is, I think his favorite meal. We had it often when I was growing up.

We LOVED hot dogs and beans growing up. No brown bread, though.

When I was a kid my grandmother made hot dogs & beans. After boiling the hot dogs she would slice the hot dogs into small pieces and mix them in with the beans. NO bread of any kind. I put ketchup on top of mine.

Remember itfrom my childhood. Haven’t had any in over 60 years but use to like it whenever we had it.

Dense, moist, and made from natural ingredients, B&M's brown bread is a solid ready-to-eat representative of the classic New England dish. Some folks enjoy eating the bread sliced up as-is at room temperature, but you can also warm it in the microwave or toaster oven. It's good topped with butter, cream cheese, or jam.Aug 15, 2018...

We used to have it in the school cafeteria in grade school. They would serve it as little sandwiches made with butter alongside beans and franks. We liked it so much that we got our mother to buy it occasionally. I got nostalgic for it a few years ago and found a recipe for it. It is steamed like a Christmas pudding.

You just reminded me of something funny. When my dad made hot dogs and beans for my brother ad me as lunch or as an after school snack, he would cut the hot dogs up like your grandmother did. He was typically pretty depressed, but when he was making a snack for us he had a smile from ear to ear. I think he derived a great deal of joy by doing things for his boys.

 

When served as dinner, the hot dogs remained whole.

 

Thank you for bringing back that memory.

toaster oven. It's good topped with butter, cream cheese

Toasted with the cream cheese is a delight

I'm not a cook. Back in the day I'd cut up several hot dogs and put them in water to boil. Once the water was boiling I'd mix in potato buds and stir it up. Plus add some butter and salt (substitute) and pepper. Depending how much I made I'd have several meals. When I was ready to eat I'd often put some cottage with it.

One of my college roommates used to boil hotdogs and then use the same pot and water to cook the macaroni for Kraft mac and cheese. I thought it was kind of nasty to have all that grease from the "meat" soaking into the pasta. We were engineering students cooking in a dorm room with one (illegal) hot plate. He admired the efficiency. I went out and bought a second saucepan at a thrift store, and would use one of those immersion coils to get a second pot of water started while the first was cooking on the hot plate. The joys of living cheaply. My friend just bought a countertop convection oven for his college-age child's dorm room. He also bought her a $300 vintage deco bar cart.

 

Mom used to buy the B&M brown bread as a special treat, rarely. Premade packaged foods were comparatively pricey, and offended her depression-era sensibilities.

I've never made mac & cheese but I'd that the hot dog water would have added flavor to it.

Hot dogs are nothing but grease.

I only buy the all beef ones. Does that make a difference?

America’s Test Kitchen on the Create channel had an episode of making brown bread recently that looked delicious. My grandmother used to make it all the time and it was always a treat for we grandchildren. I’m from the Midwest so the recipe traveled west at some point.

I had 5 grain Italian bread toasted with cream cheese along with a bowl of 15 bean soup ...

My maternal grandmother lived with us growing. She sometimes baked bread. It was so good! When I got my first apartment I tried making bread several times.

Yeah, as a result of this post I wanted to hunt down some B&M Brown Bread for nostalgia's sake, but when I looked up the ingredients and nutrition information it became clear it goes on the diabetics' "avoid" list.
