That’s an odd thought, but I can imagine a niche product line built around a 300‑year‑old family recipe for a sourdough starter that supposedly survived a war‑time famine. The story could say the starter was passed down by a woman who hid it in a hollowed‑out tree trunk during the plague, and now every loaf carries a touch of history. It’s a nice hook, though I’m not convinced customers would care if the starter was actually older than the recipe we found in a dusty attic. Still, if you want a quirky trend, a “Heritage Bread” line with a little “Born in 1723” tag could work—just don’t forget to verify the dates first.

Sounds like a plan, though I’ll be poring over the parish rolls to make sure that 1723 is not just a pretty number. And when we roll out those loaves, I’ll make sure the crowd knows the story before they bite—history should be the crust, not just the filling. Ready to get our hands dirty in the archives and the oven. Let's turn legends into dough.
