And that’s basically it!
I imagine the worst outcome would be if the bread was unbelievably delicious. They can’t exactly source more of it.
Something something Rick and Morty pasta
Could keep the starter going though
his yummified body*
The iceman yummeth
Made me chuckle, take your upvote ^^
One small throwaway line about how scientists made sourdough with a yeast strain from him.
I know every single headline now is click bait but this didn't even say shit about who made the bread or how it turned out or anything whatsoever actually about scientists making bread with an ancient yeast.
Can you honestly say you wouldnt try mummy jerky?
Note: Do not Google "mummy jerky".
Yes, yes I can.
Yes.
You seem gastronomically adventerous, if I mail you something to eat, how much will you pay me?
This story is old and still disgusting
In unrelated news, people across the world are shitting themselves to death. Scientists still trying to assess this one.
Everyone shuts themselves to death
I used to think b-rated sci-fi flicks had crappy plot hooks about how scientists would just release the world ending plot hook like that.
And then polish scientists released cannibal ants from an abandoned Soviet nuclear bunker to see what they’d do.
First, God sent the locusts. Americans voted them into office. So God came up with plan B: diarrhea.
Someone should tell them they can buy yeast in the store.
I'll take, "Things you can do but should never fucking do." for $500, Alex.
Could we not tho
Served with his duck butter.
Mmmm extra-sour dough
But how did it taste
It couldn't; 'twas dead.
Finally, some good news
I can’t imagine an ancient yeast would taste much different than sourdough made from modern wheat, especially if you use the same grain the iceman had available back in his time like einkorn. You’d still end up with tangy sourdough
The point is obviously getting as close as possible to cannibalism, without actually being cannibalism.
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
From between the toes?
Fuck it, get me some good butter I'd eat the whole loaf.
Getting Blue Nile vibes from this one.
And red Nile couldn’t be more disappointed
