Unusual Canned Foods

Bread in a Can

Bread in a can is now available in Japan.  Reminiscent of world-renowned Spam, this canned bread features an easy-open airtight lid and is ideal for emergency sustenance.

The canned bread is available in a variety of flavors like raisin and orange. It appears that the run-of-the-mill white bread seems to have been overlooked by the Japanese manufacturer.
