What is the point to Amish Friendship Bread?

You make a sourdough starter, mix and feed it for 8 days, then you make a frigging quickbread with it?!?!

Not to mention, the one we got recently seemed like a rather disgusting idea if we had followed the directions from the start. White flour, milk mixed in to the starter, add pudding mix. Not very friendly if you ask me.

Animal products such as the milk and eggs should only be added right before the final mixing for the bread or cake, not in the starter.

I haven't made any white bread in around a decade, but I decided to make some white sourdough loaves today. They were so yummy about 10 minutes out of the oven, with just a little butter melted on them.

I actually made them to use to make crutons for some french onion soup and to use in a cheese strata, but at this point, I'm not so sure that any of it is going to last till then.
