I'm not sure how ancient people got in on this. From my newsfeed, your
point came in out of the blue. Yes, some people survived, or we would
not be here. I really don't know what you mean by ancient. And I'm not
emulating anyone's diet, really, but I do make alot of things from
scratch, and have spent a much greater than average amount of time
fiddling with starters and breads.
I'm fond of thinking of accident and necessity enabled people to live
better. I recall ding very ill and my ex brought me some boiled milk. I
took one sip, put it down on the radiator, and fell asleep. Two days
later, I recovered enough to look in the cup. There was a whey and very
best fresh cheese I've ever eaten (yes, I ate it) in the cup. Was it the
boiling? the constant heat? my spit?
If I lived off a nice trust fund, I'd have reworked the experiament, but
as it is, I don't feel I have the time. Wish I did.
