These are very interesting links, Charlie, but I am no cook, and
certainly not a baker. They describe it perfectly. It has probably
been 25 or 30 years since I have had any, but I can recall the smell
quite well. My wife never cared for it, so that was just twice as much
for me.

You could make it yourself, Jim, but the recipe is a bit complicated:

The history is interesting. Uses wild bacteria instead of yeast for
leavening which gives it its distinctive smell. This is due to the
bacterium Clostridium perfringens, which also causes gas gangrene in deep
penetrating wounds. Harmless in the bread though:

That's an interesting barn, Mike. I gather it was primarily winter cover,
so the horse work could go on year-round. My wife's grandfather broke
horses, but he was a little further east, in Idaho and the Dakotas.
The Franklin County Tennessee Historical Page says our barns were built by
German-Swiss farmers who settled in the region. The last time I was
through there, the barns were gone, but there was a German bakery in the
area, which had products that are hard to find. When we first came here in
the 1950s, there was a German bakery up on the mountain that made Salt
Rising Bread. I ate it most mornings at breakfast, but it can no longer be
found. As the family members aged, the bakery disappeared.

Interesting about round barns Jim. They have mostly disappeared here too.
I know of only two in this region. One is in the Palouse and looks quite
different from the picture. The other is in E-OR only a few miles from
where the YeeHaw-dists were holed up. The Jensen family owns it now and it
is open to the public. He and I went to the same high school. Interesting
early OR history.
