    — An amusing story of the origin of Anadama Bread relates—The name Anadama comes from a New England fisherman whose lazy wife always served him corn meal mush and molasses for dinner ... Tired of it, he mixed it with flour and yeast and baked it as bread, saying: "Anna damn her."

词源

Unknown. Anadama bread has been an etymological puzzle for a long time. Dare cites Dialect Notes (1915), and states etymology unknown. John Mariani's Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink also states that the term dates in print from 1915. The often-given etymology, "Anna, damn her!", is certainly apocryphal.
