Boeuf en daube

One might wonder what do these three words mean. I, for example, thought it was a city or village this dish comes from, yet, only after making this dish and writing the recipe did I realise that it is another name for beef casserole since daube means stew. Until the 20th century, it was common to have many kinds of daube dishes named the same way, yet only sometime in the 20th century, this stuck more with the beef dishes, and all the other types of meat got their own titles.
