[Guest guest]

No no no, sourdough is made from a milk culture.

Speaking of rights, how'd you like them apples from Antonin Scalia,

justice of the Supreme Court of the United States? In a speech to the

Cleveland City Club (where he received the Citadel of Free Speech Award

although he refused to allow C-SPAN to broadcast his remarks), Scalia said

that government can scale back individual rights during wartime. " The

Constitution just sets minimums. Most of the rights that you enjoy go way

beyond what the Constitution requires. "

Good grief. This man's job is to uphold and defend the Constitution.

Absolutely nothing in the Constitution limits rights in wartime. (Unless

you want to count Amendment III: No soldier shall, in time of peace, be

quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of

war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.) Neither the text nor the

original intent of the Founders bears any resemblance to this man's notion

that the Bill of Rights is a set of minimums, and Amendment IX

specifically says so. It is appalling that a Supreme Court justice would

say such a thing.

Nope, sorry to spoil your idea [pun intended] but not all sourdough

contains milk, nor does it's name come from sour milk. The name

comes from the fact that it is fermented in warm air, and therefor

has a slight 'sour' taste.

 

It's been forever since I was exposed to this, so I had to go find

one:

 

sour dough starter:

Dissolve 1 tablespoon dry yeast and 2 tablespoons honey in 2

cups warm water in a glass, plastic, or crockery bowl. Stir in 2

cups unbleached white flour; cover with a towel and let sit in a

warm place for several days, or until foamy and soured. Store

in a covered jar in the refrigerator.

After a week you must use some and refeed it........at this point

this site does state you can use milk or water.

 

If it were actually *started* with milk, I would think you

would have an awful mess with the spoiled milk.

 

Um, ok, I will correct myself on this last point. here is a site

that uses milk:

but, I still feel that is disgusting; OMG, they leave it out for ten

days..........I would not want to eat anything that had milk in it

out for ten days, even if I did still east dairy.

 

Ok, point of this email as the first paragraph states: not all

sourdough contains milk, nor does it's name come from sour milk.

SO, you'd probably have to check with the company on that one, as

far as Subway goes [and if it has honey. I didn't look at that link for

them yet, as to how specific they get].

Listed ingredients for Subway sourdough:

 

<<<SOURDOUGH BREAD Enriched flour (flour, malted

barley flour, niacin, iron, thiamin mononitrate,

riboflavin, folic acid), water, yeast, high fructose

corn syrup, soybean oil, salt, fumaric acid, sodium

stearoyl-2-lactylate, sodium diacetate, acetylated

tartaric acid esters of mono-and diglycerides, lactic

acid, ammonium sulfate, calcium sulfate, ascorbic

acid, azodicarbonamide, potassium iodate, amylase,

mineral oil.>>>

 

Lactic acid may be problematic, since it can be

sourced from milk whey. However, according to the

allergen chart on Subway's web site, there is no milk

in the sourdough.

 

Similarly, sodium stearoyl-2-lactylate, amylase, &

acetylated tartaric acid esters of mono-and

diglycerides may or not be Vegan, depending on the

source.
