As a kid, I always like raisin bread and could buy it at a local bakery
when I lived in Philadelphia. It was baked in a mold and the loaf was round, maybe 4" and had a cinnamon coating.
Years later, they were gone so I bought the various brands at the supermarket. Mediocre at best. In CT, a bakery there made it and it
was very good. Now I live 1400 miles away.
When visiting my friend a couple of years ago, with breakfast, we had
Oregon Trail raisin bread. Damn, it was good. She bought it as Sam's Club.
I've since bought it from Amazon. Just had a couple of slices for my snack tonight. It is a heft loaf, loaded with raisins. I did a count
on a slice and counted 44 of them. If you go to Sam's, it will be much cheaper, but I treat myself a couple times a year and buy from Amazon.

When I visited my grandparents in Lincolnshire, UK, they always bought
a loaf of Lincolnshire Plum Bread for me from the local baker.
Despite the name, there are no plums in it but it was a term once used
to denote dried fruit. The loaf is loaded with fruit and has a little
spice added.
Since I'm confined to my house with this weather, perhaps I'll make one, assuming I have enough raisins etc on hand.

I love raisin bread and every once in a while I would get a craving
for it and be unable to find it. A couple months ago I was in a Dutch
produce story and while walking through the bakery department I saw
some. I grabbed a loaf and when checking out I mentioned to the cashier
how happy I was to find it. She said that if you want raisin bread you
can almost always find it in a Dutch store.

you've just read my mind. :)
and then not too long ago Mom and i were talking
about marscapone (which Mom doesn't like, but i've
rarely met a carbohydrate i didn't love to eat).

in recent weeks we're on a less sugar trend and
i'm glad for it. there's been a bit too many sweets
around here recently and i really eat too much of it
when it is around. time to shrink the feedbag...
