Feminist blogger who uses her vaginal yeast to make
sourdough bread causes uproar as social media users find her baking
experiment hard to stomach
- Feminist used bodily fluid after suffering from a vaginal yeast infection
- Zoe Stavri, who blogs as Another Angry Woman, documented it
- Twitter went into meltdown, with many accusing her of being 'mentally ill'
It's a tale that might ensure you never look the same way at a humble loaf again.
When
a feminist blogger found herself suffering from a vaginal yeast
infection, she made the unusual decision to use the unwanted bodily
fluid as an ingredient for making bread.
Zoe
Stavri, who writes under the title Another Angry Woman, has documented
the details of her unusual baking experiment on social media and,
unsurprisingly, it's caused something of a furore.
Stavri, who
admits to having a 'slightly perverse sense of humour' and a 'keenly
scientific mind' realised she was suffering from thrush on Saturday but
decided that rather than resolve the issue with conventional treatment,
she would make the most of the additional yeast she was producing.
Using
a sex aid to retrieve the yeast from her vagina, Stavri used it as a
base ingredient for sour-dough, a loaf which often takes several days
for the 'starter' dough to ferment.
The
experimental baker added her self-made ingredient to flour and water and
then watched as the fermentation process began, taking pictures along
the way.
The
photos documenting the unusual bread-making method has received an
onslaught of comments with many people accusing Stavri of being
'mentally ill.'

use the unwanted bodily fluid as an ingredient to make bread with - and
after posting the recipe on Twitter, she received a lot of confused
tweets

her'

proclaiming they were 'going to be sick'
Others saw the more light-hearted side, asking her: 'have you thought about approaching Dragon's Den?.
Others declared that they would never eat bread again after reading her recipe and branded her 'disgusting'

This is by
no means the first bodily fluid to bizarrely be used as an ingredient.
One company made the controversial move of using breast milk in a
vanilla ice cream aimed at adults.
Royal Baby Gaga ice cream is the brainchild of breastfeeding campaigner Victoria Hiley.
The
30-year-old mother from Leeds collaborated with London-based
ice-creamery The Licktators to launch the dessert in celebration of the
birth of Princess Charlotte earlier this year.
