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.

50 grams? That seems more like a dinner roll than a loaf.
I agree with you about their looks, though, Nick. They're not half bad!

Canned Brown Bread was fancy eating in my youth. We'd slice perfect thin rounds, toast them, and smear with cream cheese. 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.

We also had the brown bread as a treat when I was a child. I couldn't get enough of it.

We fried the B&M bread rounds in butter til crunchy on the outside. 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.
