Just read that sourdough starters can live for over 100 years

I was looking at a blog from a bakery in San Francisco and they mentioned the Boudin Bakery sourdough starter. It's been going since 1849, which is wild to think about. That means it's older than my great-grandparents. Makes me wonder how many people have fed it over the years. Anyone else have a starter with a cool backstory?

That Boudin starter is crazy old. My neighbor has one from her grandma's farm in the 1920s. It makes the best pancakes.

Wait, isn't Boudin's starter supposedly from the 1849 Gold Rush era? That would make it way older than the 1920s, even if your neighbor's grandma's is impressive.

Actually, @reese177, Boudin is a bakery. Their starter is from 1849, not the 1920s. Still crazy old though.
