Ziggy; Have you seen B&M for a reasonable price anywhere in Australia? I haven't seen it anywhere in Australia, except eBay, but the shipping is exorbitant. You might have better luck with Japanese Canned Bread (called Canned Pan). This is everywhere in Japan - even in vending machines - and I'm positive I've seen it in a few Asian import shops in Brisbane and Sydney.  The ones I've seen in Australia are a bit more tourist/export and include anime, like:  |

Even still, wouldn't it be necessary to lubricate the jar to aid removal of the bread, meaning rancidity would be a factor? These Japanese breads seem to all be baked in greaseproof paper, which could be a solution to this... |

Following earlier discussion re risks -
At coles today I found something called “cake rusk original”. The packet was about $4. I haven’t opened the packet yet, but through the packet - there are 8 slices about 3.5-4 inches by 1 inch, less than .5 inch thick, that are crunchy. Use by date is 11/4/18 - so not that great.
They were on the end of an aisle with things that seemed randomly grouped, so I can’t really tell you what section to find them in.

Ooo... They look nice! Will keep an eye out.
I'm yet to attempt making my own rusks but have a few recipes set aside and it's on the todo list.
Aldi did some Dutch rusks for $2 a pack and I stocked up a bunch so am fairly safe for now... The only downside is I keep eating them with milk and sugar for an evening snack.
The other bread prep I've started is having a rotation of pumpernickle bread going. The shelf life is really good (like 12 months from memory) so makes a good solution. It's also amazingly tasty, filling and high in protein. I forgot how much I loved the stuff !

I haven’t had pumpernickel bread for a long time. Might put that on my shopping list.

 I get this stuff at Coles, it's 500 grams and only $2.50 Given the shelf life and nutrition, what a bargain! also pre-sliced  |

Pumpernickel is the best. Speaking of high-energy-density in a long-term baked item, I noticed that Rotary was selling their Christmas cakes out the front of Bunnings this morning...

Tasted the coles packet of rusks this morning. They are nice but very sweet. They remind me - probably mostly because of the crunchiness and the fact they are sweet - of almond bread (which is very easy to make).

There is also flat bread and tortillas if you’re considering breads that can be stored.
We opened a pkt of “mission” brand “street tacos” tonight - mini tortillas. They were beautiful and soft and good. I’ll definitely look out for this brand again.
I would have bought these a while ago as I just buy a few packets when they’re on special, and they have a use by date of April 2018. If you can keep wraps as one of your regular meals it is very easy to rotate through them to use them before they go out of date. I think generally the tortilla type wraps have 6-12 months.

That makes sense, thanks we do occasionally get the soft taco kits and they have quite a good shelf life, have never thought of them as prep foods through... Will have to pick up some more and get another rotation going! |

Mission brand street tacos (small flat wraps) with use by date of 06/18 are on special at Woollies.
No good for long term storage but always good for stocking lots of extra and rotating through them.
10 pk for $3
