Canned bread gets an update

A vocational therapy center in Japan is now producing a variety of canned breads intended to be used as emergency rations. Each can contains two 50 gram loaves of bread that supposedly stay fresh for up to three years without preservatives, according to Asahi.com. Pan Desuyo! (which translates to "This is bread!") is available in chocolate chip, raisin and fruit, and a blend of coffee, fruit and nuts. The cans sell for around $3. For many of us, the idea of canned bread probably conjures images of B&M's canned brown bread. Having tasted neither product, I can only say that Pan Desuyo! looks far more appetizing.

I agree with you about their looks, though, Nick. They're not half bad!

To decorate with fruit or not was optional, but these dense, sweet, date-like rounds, served on a white platter with a cup of tea, was "high tea" for my mother and sisters. Memories.

After that, white sugar and cinnomon, applesauce, or home-canned crabapples were our favorites as children; my father made a steak and provelone sandwich with worchestershire sauce that I still eat occasionally as an adult.

Obviously, an occasional caloric treat.
