In ancient Egypt you are determined on how much you eat as where you are in society. Rich egyptians usually held banquets.

At Egyptian Banquets there are plenty of rich dishes. The meats what are served are, Beef, seldom, lamb, goat, pig, antelope, gazelle, hyenas, crocodile, hippo, geese, pigeons and fish. Salads, fruits and other dishes as well. Beer and wine is available to. Baklava, basbousa and bbouzat are 3 desserts.

Entertainment is provided all through the night by jugglers, clowns, musicians and dancers. It is a night of fun for all!

At a predetermined time during the festivities a slave would carry a model mummy into the banqueting room to remind the guests of their mortality.
