When DS moved to the States 5 years ago, they started making their own sourdough. The bread is very good, just like they were used to at home in Germany.
They are flying back soon as their little boy will be starting school and they want him to go to school here.
I am wondering how they can move their sourdough - will it have to go in hand luggage? They always keep it in a kilner jar in the fridge and feed it once a week. It is now, of course, beautifully mature.
I heard of an Italian restaurant in San Francisco where the owners brought their sourdough over when they emigrated from Italy in 1849. The culture has been passed down the generations and their bread and pizzas are legendary. Apparently, the older it is, the better the taste.
