Yes, that drink that most people associate with Vikings… but was actually around for at least eight thousand years before them, all over Europe… and Asia, Africa, and even Central America! Nice! Looking through your recipe I was going to ask whether you could use something other than bakers yeast (which is a relatively recent invention) and then saw Anatolii’s post: > [@rustkas](#): > > Later, in the XVI-XVII centuries, the technology was simplified and they began to add sourdough… I would have guessed it might have been sourdough type yeasts - have you tried that Dave? I would definitely consider it - sourdough yeasts are said to be more beneficial than bakers yeast since they are a natural fermented food, containing wild yeasts and lactic acid bacteria 🕶 ---

I have heard of sour mead being done on purpose (and accidentally due to vinegar infection), but don’t much like the idea, so I don’t think I’ll be doing that. However, I have used three different varieties of wine yeast and a yeast actually meant for mead. ---

Most of all I like fast food recipes. I just like to cook ordinary salads, fry meat and fish. I don’t think there is a need to waste time. [Previous page](https://forum.devtalk.com/t/cooking-recipes/11085.md?page=1)
