I made it as a kid but don't remember where I got the recipe from or what
went into it. Only reason that I made it was that my dad was always saying
that he wanted brown bread. He would always get a confused look by
waitstaff. We knew that what he wanted was wheat bread but we could never
get him to say the right word. So every year or so, I'd make him some brown
bread. He never liked and couldn't figure out why I was making it.

Can anyone else make heads or tails of this shit? You father liked wheat bread but called it brown bread because for some reason he couldn't learn to call it wheat bread. So then you decided to start a yearly tradition of making Boston Brown Bread for him, even though he didn't like it.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeahhhhhh.....

That pretty much sums it up. We got sick of him using the term "brown"
bread when he meant "wheat" bread. Only after I found it in a can did I buy
can and then kept reusing it to show him what brown bread really was.

of yours was useful or the last time I read one of Spins posts first
hand.
