Because of religious stigma, many types of seafood were avoided.

Food was normally fresh and simple, but they also made stews, porridges , and soups. They had a good supply of fresh foods, so they weren't heavily salted or flavored like in Rome or Greece.

Answer 2

I imagine they ate whatever crops they had or whatever food they could afford to buy. I also learned that when times were tough, or they had no money or food, they would boil papyrus, which was Egyptian paper, and eat that. They could eat papyrus because it was made out of reeds. I don't imagine it tasted very good, but it was probably better than nothing.
