I (obviously) live in Boston, and while you can get brown bread at various restaurants and diners, the fact is, the classic "brown bread in a can" is what's most used around here.

Do you mean Boston Brown Bread?
http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/rec...Is a traditional American bread made from mixed grains, usually a blend of rye and wheat flour with cornmeal, buttermilk and molasses. Raises with bicarbonate of soda, the mixture is placed in a tall cylindrical mold and steamed, not dry baked in the normal way. The Puritan community of New England served this bread on the sabbath with Boston baked beans.
