HOW DID THE NAME "ANADAMA BREAD'" COME ABOUT?


"The name Anadama is thought to be a term used by an old New
England Fisherman.  He grew so tired of the corn meal mush and molasses that his lazy wife served him every night for dinner that he mixed it with flour and yeast and baked it for bread, saying, "Anna, damn her.!"   Recipe and information about Anadama Bread from Helen Cohoon, from The Yankee Kitchen Cookbook, 1969
