And yet the poskim that I am familiar with are mechayev that kind of
meal in Succa. The generally accepted psak is that you can't eat any
mezonos out of the succa.

I meant more then a kzayis.

There is no question that at the time of Chazal and until recently bread
was the king of all foods. But that has changed. In today's world bread
is in no way shape or form the king of foods anymore. As someone pointed
out many fancy restaurants don't even serve bread any more.

Therefore we have 2 choices. We can say that since Chazal were kovea the
berachos this way that doesn't change even though society changed, like
by tereifos and other halachos. Or maybe we should say that since society
changed hilchos berachos should change as well. Not change in the sense
of the Halacha actually changing but change in the application. As RHS
says, it used to be that sif 1 applied based on the circumstances now
that circumstances changed sif 2 applies.
