I once bought a suitcase so I could haul back a dozen cans from New England to Tennessee. I then distributed them to peers at work. Two out of twelve loved it. Six out of twelve made the gag me with a spoon sign. The remainder were to scared to open the can.

Brown bread is a New England staple. I think it comes from the B&M plant outside of Portland, ME. It also comes in a non-raisin version. It was a staple in my parents home when I was growing up. We smeared it with butter or cream cheese and it was always served with baked beans. The primary flavor is molasses. I have a recipe and all the ingredients but haven’t gotten around to baking any. Of course there is a can in the pantry with other hurricane supplies.
