Cheat Bread made from the second quality of flour, inferior to Manchet. A term in use from c1450 well into the 19th century (OED). If you ordered finest manchet, but were given inferior bread, you had been cheated - it seems to be the case that the verb meaning "to substitute by trickery, to deprive, to deceive" is derived from the name of the bread. For other traditional bread types, see: Cheat Jannock Bread Manchets Pandemain Wastel Bread |
