Egyptians were the first to get a rise out of bread, accidentally allowing a wheat-and-water gruel to ferment before baking it in 2600 BC.

Fast forward 3000 years to the Black Forest where German Friars baked a black loaf so indigestible it was said to make even the Devil flatulent.

The Torah, the Koran and the Bible all refer to "bread," but you might imagine early clerics having to light a couple extra candles the morning after that first pumpernickel loaf -- so B is correct.
