While living in Nome several years ago, June Engstrom let a visitor
take a whiff of her sourdough starter. And while not exactly an
ambrosia coveted by most scent connoisseurs, this man was a sourdough
starter aficionado himself. He was the owner of a sourdough starter
that he said was carried by pioneers over the Oregon Trail sometime
before 1869.
“Hmm,” he reportedly said to Engstrom. “Smells like the same bacteria as mine.”
