Peasants ate mostly bread, which was baked at home every day, and vegetables such as beans, lentils, onions, leeks, and turnips. Richer people ate a lot of meat and game, especially birds, which they trapped in the Delta. Although the Nile was full of fish, people did not eat fish if they could get meat. Salads of lettuce and cucumber were popular. Sweet dishes were made with honey.
People ate with their fingers - no forks or spoons were provided. The food was served in dishes and jars of pottery.
