Quota of the Day

Loaves were made for me daily, and wine as daily fare,
cooked meat, roast fowl, as well as desert game. For
they shared for me and laid it before me, in addition
to the catch of my hounds. Sweets were made for me,
and milk dishes of all kinds".

~Tale of Sinuhe~
M. Litchtheim, Ancient Egyptian Literature, Vol.1, p.227

What do you think of this quote that Ancient Egyptian had its perspective regarding with food that they used it for daily diet? I would love to hear your perspectives as well :)
