And perhaps household kitchens as well? In a couple of recipes,
Nola refers to using sour leavening to remove the burnt taste from
scorched soups and pottages, so it was probably readily available
in the kitchen. And of course a sourdough starter is easy to
maintain, especially in a busy kitchen where it gets replenished
often.
