The idea that brown bread was "invented" in Boston is comical in the extreme, though worthy of tears given the propensity of a certain folk to claim ultimate heritage of nearly everything under the sun.

Boston brown bread is a specific type of brown bread - as such, it is not particularly comical. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.14 ( talk) 13:47, 2 October 2015 (UTC) reply

The sabbatarian Pilgrims and Puritans were the originators of "Boston baked beans", which they brought with them from Holland, where they had learned to make cholent from the Jews there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.113.225.4 ( talk) 01:49, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply

There is no evidence that the Pilgrims in New England followed Sabbath cooking restrictions similar to Orthodox Jews. The book cited in this article clearly states that this is just conjecture and has no evidence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:246:800:8A80:392B:8D3F:6B60:2D53 ( talk) 20:59, 4 February 2021 (UTC) reply
