Haven't done much posting lately :( But I'm still freeze drying stuff; shredded cheese, all kinds of fruits and vegetables, eggs. I did some meat, but it seems to get a little tough; I think it works better already cooked instead of raw.

I would think ANY bread counts as a fermented food. I've read that bread may have started out as a batch of beer that boiled dry (ancient Egypt- their so-called beer was more of a fermented porridge)
