Growing up in eastern MA in the seventies, the bakeries sold something called monkey bread that wasn't anything like this recipe. It came in sliced loaves like sandwich bread and it had a random swirl of something buttery and salty insided. We ate the slices plain for a treat. Does anybody else remember this, or have any idea how it was made? Lesley, I grew up in Eastern Mass. in the late '60s. Was it bubble bread? It's made like monkey bread with the stacked balls, but they're dipped in butter and cheese - I think that's what the butter/salty taste you remember was. Sound right? PJH
