The Bread that has been eaten a long time ago is called Brode

>> No.24162284

Brode (technically brôd) was originally a piece of bread, braudoz in the Old Teutonic with hlaibo-z being the loaf itself. By the time brôd came about (Old High German) bread and loaf (hleib) were possibly interchangeable but there is some suggestion that brôd was unleavened (crackers/biscuits sort of things) and hleib was leavened (like your picture). By the time we get to Old English (bréad and hláf) we more or less have the modern usage.

They each have both, just went different directions with the standard type. Big part of this is just climate, in the days before high gluten white flour bread was slow to cook so hot areas tended towards quick cooking flat breads since having a hot oven going for hours was not much fun, they did not need more heat. Cooler to climates often had fires going 24 hours a day so no issues with cooking slow or heating up an oven.

Before the high gluten white flour showed became common breads in the west were not crispy and goofy, they were dense, might have a crispy crust when fresh but that would not last long and starts softening as soon as you take it out of the oven. The modern rustic breads are all fairly modern types and far from traditional.

Beeves is archaic and slightly different in that it only refers to the animal and not the meat, beefs and beefes are correct plurals but rarely seen so seem wrong. Beef is mostly used to refer to the meat and not the animal these days and in use "beef" on its own does not imply a quantity and when quantity is involved it is dealt with else where, 120 pounds of beef, beef steaks, etc. Generally when beef is used to refer to the animal itself it is an adjective, beef cattle to distinguish it from dairy cattle. Cattle, cows, etc has mostly replaced beef in English for referring to the animal itself.

From what I can find, beeve/beeves spelling was only around for a short time in the mid to late 19th and never particularly common but I did not look all that hard. Seems to have developed from the older beves with the singular beeve derived from beeves.
