Best Answer

Peasants in ancient Egypt usually ate bread, onions, cucumbers, and fish. To drink they had water or beer. Peasants were not alchoholics, beer was just the only think sanitary to drink.
peas, lentils, leftover grain, and some other foods, meat was a delicacy that they hardly ever ate.

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.

-birds (wild or domesticated, and species such as geese, chicken, doves, pigeon, fowl, quail or ducks, either raw, cooked, salted or dried)

-beef

- mutton

-fish (cooked, raw, salted or dried)

-goat

-eggs

-pigs

-antelopes

-Gazelles

drinks:

-water

-beer (it was less alcaholic back then)

-wine

dairy products such as milk, clarified butter and cheese

They ate a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices, such as:

-honey

-figs

-onions

-lettuce

-leeks

-garlic

-barley

-wheat

-berries

-dates

-radishes

-pulses

-salt

-fruits

-beans (chickpeas, broad beans, brown beans, lentils)

-melons

-cucumbers

-oils and fats
