Bread is a broad term referring to the prepared, edible flesh of the starchbeast. Because starchbeasts are found across the globe and display local speciation, the bread in various areas of the world takes a different form depending on the constitution of the animal. In France, for instance, "horseshoe" starchbeasts have crisp, laminated muscle tissue; once the hard carapace has been removed, they are consumed as croissants. The "saucer" starchbeasts of China, meanwhile, have delicately chewy skins and flat, circular bodies. Once flayed, the skins are stuffed with vegetables or soup to create sausages known as dumplings.
