ON TUESDAY, WE told you about Zoe Stavri, a blogger who decided to make sourdough bread using yeast from her own vagina.
When life gives you lemons and all that.

So how did the sourdough taste? Did the vaginal yeast add a distinctive flavour or make no difference at all?
Stavri shared photos of the final product and, well, it looks like regular old sourdough.

As for the taste?
It tasted like a pretty damn nice sourdough bread. Not the tangiest sourdough I’ve ever eaten, but solidly tasty. I really, really liked it. After having a little bite, I ate a slice with butter. The bread was still slightly warm and the butter soaked in and it was absolutely heavenly.
Oh!
Stavri also clarified that it did not taste like vagina.
A lot of people on the internet seem to be under the impression it would taste like c**t. Of course it fucking didn’t. The only thing that really tastes like p***y is p***y. Given that this is a loaf of bread, obviously it didn’t taste like p***y. Learn biology, buddy.
In fact, she doesn’t believe that any vaginal yeast was actually present in the sourdough.
Since it’s behaved exactly as one would expect sourdough with a conventional starter to behave at every step of the way, in smell and consistency and behaviour, I think that it’s very likely that any yeast from my vag never grew, and what I have produced is literally just a normal sourdough starter, with neither vaginal yeast nor vaginal bacteria present.
Whoops!

So now.
All that fuss over a regular loaf of sourdough.
