Yeast the shocking fact

Yeast

Now I like many people love the smell and taste of home baked bread.

Or should i say DID  until recently, when I stumbled upon a revelation about Yeast.

I was quite happily making a loaf in the kichen with the Breadmaker, I meticulously measured and put in the ingredients, pressed the start button and went off to do other things whilst I was waiting.

[Apologies to you purist bakers out there but it works for me.]

Anyway after hearing the familiar beeps of the breadmaker letting me know it had finished, I opened the lid and  noticed my bread didn’t rise to its usual height.

I checked the dates on all my ingredients, yep they were all okay.

So as most people do nowadays I went on the internet to find out what could have gone wrong.

Off I went trawling through baking sites and breadmaking forums, looking for a solution to my dilemma.

Quite a few people were mentioning that the Yeast might have gone bad.

I went on my computer and typed in Yeast as a search then looked down the results.

One result in particular sounded promising, so I clicked on that one, entitled ‘Yeast Infection’

Now what that search revealed was nothing short of shocking .

It turns out Yeast is produced in a ladys private parts and can be controlled with natural yoghurt.

Before this I had never given the origins of Yeast a thought or how it was produced.

This opened up a right can of worms for me on several levels.

For a start Yeast is used all over the world, so the mass production of it has to be going on somewhere.

Do some women do it as a full time job.

Does it go on in large buildings like they do with battery hens.

How hygenic can it be.

Who the hell realised you could mix human secretions with food products.

Who knows what other foods that we eat have such  bizzare ingredients.

And finally what flavour was the natural yoghurt.

The next time I am near the dairy products shelf  in my local supermarket and I see a woman pick up a carton of natural yoghurt,

I will be thinking I know what you are up to, you must be working later.
