There's an old wive's tale about this bread. Seems that one grumpy old New Englander and his old wife, Anna, got into a more contentious squabble than usual; so she went home to mother (or perhaps to their daughter). That left the curmudgeon to fend for himself in the kitchen. When he ran out of bread, the man figured he could do it himself as well as his wife. He scrounged around in the pantry, and devised his own recipe from whatever he found. It turned out to be a recipe that makes some darned good bread. When he tasted his first slice, the old man smacked his lips and chortled, "This is for Anna, damn her!" And that's why we call it Anadama Bread.
We got this recipe for bread machines about twenty years ago from Cooking Light Magazine. It's a definite family favorite, and has been a hit with everyone who's tried it…
