Summary/Abstract: The Annales school, which has an important place in Twentieth-Century historiography, deals mainly with economic, social and cultural history. Food, which is seen as a non-historical subject in everyday life, falls within the scope of Annalesin's work in terms of affecting economic and social processes. The study will trace the differentiation of bread and beer on the basis of the economic and cultural change of a long-term process from antiquity to the transition period to capitalism, where the context of production and consumption changes. The question of how bread and beer, which took its place in the feeding regime of humanity with the Neolithic period and did not fall off the stage of history, differed in the way it was perceived, even though it was based on the same raw material, forms the starting point of the study.
