Boston brown bread sets itself apart from other bread brands. It's steamed instead of baked and round instead of rectangular, thanks to the round 16-ounce No. 303 can it's made in.

A staple in New England, the bread has graced the tables of Northeasterners since 1928. The B&M brand produced its first iterations in a time when canned food popularity boomed.

With a cake-like texture and flavor, the bread comes in a plain form and with raisins. It's made with rye flour, cornmeal, and molasses, so even the plain, non-sweet type is sweet.

Cutting off the can’s top and bottom lids with a can opener and shaking it a little should make the bread slide out. However, if it's stubborn, give it a little push on one end.

Like any bread, you can slice it up and pop it in the toaster, microwave, or oven. Traditionally, people have eaten it in a meal that also included baked beans and crispy hot dogs.

You can enjoy it with butter, cream cheese, jelly, or some kind of nut butter, too. It can also be eaten on its own as breakfast, an afternoon snack, or a substitute for dessert.
