Guest guest Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 The honey makes it not Vegan, also, but thanks for setting me straight about the milk. My son taught me to avoid sourdough on the grounds that it isn't usually Vegan.

At the time of the Spanish Inquisition, the opinion of good sense and of the good medium was certainly that people ought not to burn too large a number of heretics; extreme and unreasonable opinion obviously demanded that they should burn none at all.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 Yeah, I mentioned [in that email] that one would have to inquire about the possibility of honey [as well as the milk]. But bear in mind, the recipe I shared is just *one* possibility. Honey can be substituted with sugar, ya know. Pixx The Stewarts wrote: The honey makes it not Vegan, ......

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 I understand that sourdough starter is derived in a number of similar ways. It's basically yeast and a sweetener of any sort (to feed the yeast), plus the unique spices that one might add. Nature takes over from there and does the rest.
