General / Off-Topic The first bread

[Robin of Spiritwood]

This is a site in Jordan, showing an ancient fire pit with remnants of scorched flatbread. It was carbon dated to 14,000 years old. It's the earliest discovery of bread anywhere.

Thanks for sharing.

This is excellent news! My doctor put me on a paleo diet some time back, which excluded bread and cereals. This new information puts bread back on the table.

Now, what was that pizza delivery phone number again?

lol - paleo diets are only silly when people buy into the "scientific history" of them. From a nutritional standpoint, there is nothing wrong with them

Hey vin!

Well, the scientific part might hold water, but until my next appointment, I'm assuming that pizza is ok. She'll probably have a few choice words for me when I see her next, but it's always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

assuming they also adopt a paleo lifestyle, i.e. 6-8 hours daily of hunting and gathering plants, and are fine with a life span of about 30 years, yeah, makes total sense!

There was a comic once... can't remember who. Made a joke about how we'd all have lean, caveman bodies too if we had to stalk pints of Haagen Das across the plains for six hours before eating them.

You should try the Jurassic diet.

I like this story.

14,000 years predates farming? (Wheat for bread might have caused cultivation)

So, when was jam invented?

Jam was invented right after that.
Before bread, people were traveling around and they would eat fruit and other gifts of the woods as they went.

After bread, when they had to settle down and farm wheat, they needed a way to store fruit for longer periods of time. Therefore jam.

I do like archeology....... alien or otherwise.

Nice avatar Jenner.

 

[Ian Phillips]

First ever attempt to make toast?

 

[Bartizan]

Found in what appears to be a spin and tuck bag configuration near an agry looking female skeleton.

 

[Manticore]

I think Jenner was right about the origins of Subway.......

 

[Marak]

Meh.

I've found bread older than that in my local Nisa store.
