OMG! I have the same cookbook, my antiques collecting father gave it to me years ago...published in 1878 (I had to translate the roman numerals and I got 1878 not 77). I'm not sure which edition it is, it doesn't say, but based on the condition, it has been around a very long time. I've always wanted to know more about it but could find very little info on the net. Thank you so much for the info Glen. Neat! (Edit: Just looked inside and there's a passage that says "Entered according to Act of the Parliament of Canada, in the year one thousand eight hundred seventy seven..." On the opposite page is the preface which was written by Mrs. S.F. McMaster, Treasurer Hospital for Sick Children about the book being compiled in the interest of the Hospital for Sick Children.)

Okay, I made this recipe yesterday and really liked it. I did add some spices -- fresh and ground ginger, allspice, coriander, and cardamom, and plan to increase the spices next time. I also used whole white wheat flour instead of all-purpose, dark rye flour, and (without really thinking about it) used buttermilk rather than sour milk, real buttermilk that I can get locally, which states that it isn't cultured skim milk, but actually made from churned cream after the butter has been made, and then cultured with love yogurt cultures. My sister and I thought it was very reminiscent of Boston brown bread, which we'd grown up with, though simpler. The whole time it was baking, we were trying to think of what it reminded us of, and when we tasted it, we knew. Boston brown bread is steamed, not baked, and has additional ingredients, such as cornmeal, but three of its ingredients are molasses, rye flour, and buttermilk. I am definitely going to add some raisins next time I make it! And there will definitely be a next time! I loved that it was so quick to make, and easy to whip up for supper. It's also great for breakfast the next day. My sister likes it warmed up with a bit of butter on it.

Greetings Glen Jules and all the Cookery-hangers-on, Tea is my preferred beverage and for some friends I did a classic high tea, which I researched a bit. I believe this rye concoction was designed to use in either the sweet or savo(u)ry directions. Butter and Ham, or Cucumbers, or cheese could be slathered on. Jam or fruit or curd or heaven forbid CREAM CHEESE. 😆. The Tea cup collection reminded me of a friend of mine here in Oaxaca that collected antiquey tea cups. He only had around 30 but they were indeed lovely. I have some old pieces in my china cupboard but nothing at that level. This was great fun for me. All the best to all of you JIM Oaxaca

I feel like this is a rye flour quick bread. I would probably slice it, toast it, and serve with salted butter or honey butter made with a strongly flavored honey.. Regarding the salt (or lack thereof), I have had older relatives tell me that modern salted butter had nowhere near as much salt as the butter they grew up with in the 1910s-1940s. So maybe it was expected that adding butter would also add salt.

There are quite a few tea breads/loaf cakes here in the U.K. that you might put butter, jam or cheese on as they are neither too sweet nor too savoury and so can be adulterated by slice to suit the consumers inclination. Is it possible that was maybe the intention behind this particular recipe too? After all, it does essentially make it a more versatile and maybe even less wasteful cake if it is easily tailored to the individual.
