Ki lekach tov nasati lechem. Its a peleh – one is pas habah bkisnin and one is pas… how is it possible that we didn’t already have lechem/pas before we had lekach?
I asked this shayla to many rebbes and only one was able to answer in a satisfactory way (the rest answered in a factory way). That is the one true rebbe and the only one who I get lekach from anymore. But I’m not releasing the answer here for a bunch of misnagdim like popa to benefit from.
