anadama bread

/ah-nah-DAY-mah/
[English]

A yellow-brown yeast bread made from white flour, cornflour (US: corn starch) and molasses. The story is that a fisherman, or a New England farmer, had a lazy wife who refused to bake bread, so he had to make his own. He named the bread after her in the phrase "Anna. Damn her".
