This is a test to see which is better, Bonne Maman raspberry preserves, my all time favorite, or Smucker's orange marmalade, my all time favorite. It's all very scientific.

My natural yeast bread, the first loaves from an unproven levain. It is not the best most fierce nor tastiest culture I ever cultivated but it is still tastier than the so-called sourdough loaf from the professional place, good as that loaf was.

I do dislike the term sourdough. It originally referred to people not bread. They smelled like their live cultures because they kept their cultures close to their bodies, it meant the difference between having bread and not having bread out there in frozen isolation, I'm thinking Alaska, and they were not known for fastidious bathing practices, so they were so much a part of their own live cultures and their live cultures so much a part of themselves that the two smelled alike, so there you go.

Plus, it purports to describe bread that was made throughout the history of wheat across human civilizations not just the relative few people within the narrow historical bands of American gold rushes. So every time I use the term sourdough I feel like I am betraying the history of bread, and we historian-types do not like that.
