A
short article at Nature tells me that the oldest bread ever found is this old:
The flatbreads’ ingredients include wild wheat, barley and other grains,
as well as a type of wild tuber. At more than 14,000 years old, the
bread is the oldest known. It pre-dates agriculture, which emerged in
roughly the same region, by about 4,000 years. For Shubayqa’s residents,
bread — which required laborious milling and grinding — was probably a
delicacy rather than a staple.
Speaking of bread, I've become quite the fan of good quality sourdough from small bakeries - especially when used for toast the day after it is bought.
