So, do they rely on air-borne yeast for fermenting? I don't see any
fermenting agent(s) listed. Just wondering.

The guy responsible for this recipe used to post on the cooking echo.
I met him at the first echo picnic I attended. He had a gorgeous wife
but he was a "falso alarm". He was not a medical doctor (thank providence)
but he;ld a PhD in Cultural Anthropology.
