What makes sourdough bread unique is the culture that inhabits the starter. The culture is rapidly taken over by the local bacteria, regardless of where the starter originated. That's why San Francisco is sometimes regarded as the home of the best sourdough in the world. -- Ed Gould ucbvax!mtxinu!ed
