Typically, food is made with different ingredients, not bodily fluids or secretions.
And while it's fairly common for women to contract yeast infections in their vaginas, this woman definitely took things to a whole new level.
Feminist blogger Zoe Stavri decided to experiment and use a different kind of leavening agent in her sourdough recipe: her own yeast.
Not only did she dedicate a blog article - aptly entitled "Baking and eating #cuntsourdough" - to her baking experience, but she also live-tweeted the whole thing!
It was on November 21 when she first tweeted, "Have thrush. Genuinely considering using it to make sourdough."
It wasn't even 20 minutes later when she posted a follow up tweet that read: "I'M F-KING DOING IT #cuntsourdough" with a photo for proof.
Naturally, the Internet went crazy, calling her all kinds of disgusting. However, some chefs quickly came to her defense, tweeting: "I'm also a pro chef and I say yeast is yeast."
Some other users were excited to see the results of the experiment - to see if it really will work. Zoe Stavri hilariously answered back, "Me too. I don't know if I plonked enough of my vag yeast into it. Time will tell!"
After a Twitter user asked if she was serious about her attempt, she quickly replied: "Yes, yes I am. You don't have to eat it. I just want to see if it works."
The results? In her blog post, Zoe Stavri writes:
"I think I overcooked it ever so slightly, as it looked a bit burnt in places. Aside from that, everything was looking like it was meant to. Tapping it made a hollow sound, and it smelled absolutely delicious. You probably know what baking bread smells like. It smelled like that. [...] They were also slightly misshapen, probably due to my cosmetic cockup mentioned earlier. Still, not bad for a first attempt at bread-making."
Of course, Zoe tasted her own concoction and said, "It tasted like a pretty damn nice sourdough bread." Although it wasn't the "tangiest sourdough" she's ever eaten, she says it's still "tasty."
