- tj9991, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20What I hate is eating half the burger before discovring the mold splotch.
Then you have a tough decision, to yak, or not to yak. - Migdilio, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Apparently they think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.
- goalieca, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17I've been getting my 'liquid bread' from a can or a bottle for years now...
sometimes i even get it on tap :D - Dradis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14@tj9991
Just pick off the mold and finish it off. You've gone that far, you may as well finish it. It (probably) won't kill you. - BubbaJones, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9B&M... Have it every Thanksgiving. MMmmmmmmmm.
- WackyT, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13B&M Brown Bread in a can.
Great with hot dogs and baked beans.
Whoops! So they think this is a new idea, huh?
OK. What a fantastic idea! - Midnightbrewer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7It might be common, but it's not easy to make. Also, we're talking about emergency rations, when you're in a situation where you don't have all those little necessities that go into baking bread; for example, when an earth quake has taken out power, gas, and the local supermarket.
- Otto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6"It's available in almost any supermarket."
Only in New England. I've never seen it in the rest of the country. - tuna1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I put my bread in the fridge. Anyone else do this?
- geminitojanus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"if its seeled in an air tight can then no spores can land and grow on the bread"
Genius! Why, if only the industry had thought about that, there'd be no reason to cook foods to certain temperatures, make sure cans, milk containers and plastic bags are sterilized before insertion of food, or any of that otherwise unneccesary stuff...
Oh wait.
What you forgot was that spores from fungi got on the grain, the grain was milled (which probably had its own bits of bacterial contaiminants), then put into paper bags (which themselves are made of bits of tree, which makes them perfect homes for all kinds of microbes). That grain is then shipped to the makers, who have to combine it with whatever they would like the outcoming bread to be (aka, adding in things which could be teeming with micro-organisms), and finally, they have to add a leavening agent, the most common of which (for breads) is itself a fungi, yeast, which brings us the end of the thought process.
So. The real question here is what the hell does "bread in a can" mean? Does it mean like our pre-packaged biscuits, which are cooked when opened to prevent us from contracting food-borne illnesses, or does it mean "open a can and recieve white bread loaf", in which case the bread would probably have to be cooked /in the can/, and let's just say that doesn't sound all that appetizing, even IF totally safe. [And I should know this, I tried a loaf of "coffee can" bread once.. never again..] - addisonj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I think everything should come in a can. how about these items: Fun in a can! Sleep in a can! Friends in a can! Love in a can!
my philosophy is to bottle everything good in life and use this great economic system of ours to get rich! - deepsub, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5"Bread In A Can Lasts Up To Three Years"
I guess that depends on how you define 'lasts'.
I'll bet it doesn't taste very good after a year or two. - doomgoat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Freeze dired water- just add water!
- dingmah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Most people buy bulk bread and freeze them; my grandparents used to do that. I for one cant stand to eat thawed bread, but it's fine if u toast it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3 Fruitcake lasts longer than that. I've got a can of it that's over twelve years old, and it's still moist. No mold either.
It probably would taste better, too, but I'm not that adventurous to try it. - Habemus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This idea is supposed to be new? I ate a biscuit that was sealed in its own can from my dad's stash of old Army C-rations (what they used before MREs). It was edible though not tasty.
- lame_duck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3You tell um! They act like you just just rub to stick toghter and make fire to cook your food. Er... wait...
- stuffhappens, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The server is toast!!
Bwahahahahahaha - addisonj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2ugh... my parents have a bad habit of doing this, I totally hate the thawed bread taste, so now we no longer freeze our bread though they sometimes do it with things such as hamburger buns which is even more disgusting, and as far as bread in the fridge, i knew some people that did that, claimed it made it last longer, which might make sense... slow bacteria down?

- Brak710101, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7One should not have a hamburger that lives long enough to grow mold.
One must eat all hamburgers apon creation. - noGoodNamesLeft, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3@tj9991; Is it going to kill you? I've (inadvertantly) made sandwiches with mouldy bread before, and if it's just a small piece of mould I'll tear it off and throw it away. Damned if I'm wasting my time and ham/cheese/etc just because there's a tiny piece of mould on the bread.
Meat is a different kettle of fish (or ham); I wouldn't eat meat that looked or smelled a bit odd, let alone mouldy, and I'd definitely want it out of my stomach fast. - fletchowns, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6my girlfriend has been making bread in a jar for ages...this is old news.
- meed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Bread in a can is nothing new... Infact I think US army used bread in a can in field rations in the world war II
- addisonj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2not exactly what i had in mind... but i guess you got the idea :-|.
- Greyarea, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5I strongly suspect you could have put a full-stop after the word 'good'.
- GuyHitByTruck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So who's wants to be the first volunteer to eat it?
- Teratogen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is nothing new. K rations came with canned pound cake. It was delicious, by the way. See for example:

- cyberdash, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2lol
Sounds cool. Maybe soon somebody could invent canned doughnuts...
I'm sure all those disaster victims could do with variety - Corr0sive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1my family doesnt put bread in the fridge, but we do freeze milk and bread...i dont like the bread sometimes either 1) when the last loaf of bread was gone and someone else didnt pull another loaf out you have to wait for it to unthaw. 2)the first day or two its still kinda soggy form the water 3)sometimes its gets one or two hard sides of the bread. as for the milk i dont like it being frozen for more that a month or atleast AFTER the date on the jug, im really paranoid about rotten milk, if the date on the milk is still in the future then its still good, if its been in the freezer, and the date has already past then i either dont drink the milk afraid of getting a mouth full of sour and thinking to my self ....aww man its rotten, or have to sip a little to see if its rotten or not.
- Corr0sive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have eatin freeze dried Ice cream, it wasnt very good at all... it came in a block of 3 flavors vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. they all tasted terrible...
- stuffhappens, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ho do you *know* - have you opened the can?
- GrendelT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I love Guiness!
I didn't know it stayed fresh that long. - WackyT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1When I moved to Colorado, I had my local supermarket special order it for me, and now they carry it regularly on the shelf.
- willcode4beer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13 years isn't going to cut it. The way MRE's are stored distributed, you generally get 20 year old food while the fresh ones are going into the wharehouse.
- moracity, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm pretty sure Brits had bread in a tin during WWII. Practically everything was in a tin. My dad definitely had cake in a can in his field rations in 1980 (US Army).
- Murdats, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3if its seeled in an air tight can then no spores can land and grow on the bread
- Otto, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2"isnt penicillin made form bread mold?"
There's thousands of different kinds of molds that will grow on bread, so your question is a bit imprecise.
Penicillium notatum will indeed grow on some types of bread, but for producing actual penicillin, it's most commonly grown in substance that derives primarily from potato's.
But to answer your other question, there is no known relationship between an allergy to the mold penicillium and an allergy to the drug penicillin, made from the mold. You can easily be allergic to one and not to the other. Understand that penicillin is a highly refined and concentrated form of one of the byproducts of the mold's growth, and injesting the mold itself would be unlikely to have anywhere near enough of the substance to trigger an allergy. Not that the mold would be particularly healthy for you anyway, but it would be extremely unlikely to cause any form of allergic reaction unless you happened to actually be allergic to the mold. Having a pencillin allergy doesn't mean you're also allergic to the mold. - willcode4beer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I remember MRE bread in the industructible brown wrapper.
I don't know the age but the pack of M&M's in the MRE were labled proud sponsor of the 1976 Olympics. This was in 1997.
Tasted like ass like all of the other MRE's but, thats what the hot sauce is for (numb the taste buds).
BTW, anybody remember the oatmeal cookie bar? Freakin compressed sawdust that take two canteens of water to get down. - YumYumKittyLoaf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1We used to keep bread in the fridge, not to mention i had to drink dehydrated milk... tasted wierd but you got used to it XD (add some water, was alright)
Bread in a can dosn't sound un-appealing. Not like i'm going to be eating it anytime soon, but if you could find some interesting recipe's, might be good. Could be the new spam XD - deepsub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Twinkies aren't sweet bread, they're sponges. :D
- lame_duck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Your lucky. My mom use to buy like 5 jugs of milk and freeze 4 of them. You just don't know how nasty thawed milk is.
- piesforyou, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2It just tastes yucky
- lame_duck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Wimps... I've ate worse things than mold. Not like a little can kill you.
- DasBub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Maybe you should try heat-moistening the freeze-dried ice cream.
- Corr0sive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1isnt penicillin made form bread mold? im allergic to penicillin and, i have heard this since i was a child, DONT EAT THAT MOLDY BREAD U COULD DIE!
- antron, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4Eww, the dreaded mold splotch.
