Manna has nothing to do with this, but was food supplied by God from Heaven, and I don’t know why one would even want to try to duplicate or revive something that would turn to wormy garbage if it was kept overnight, and I don’t know what the purpose would be. I wouldn’t waste time on that, nor of inventing shoes and shirts that wouldn’t wear out in forty years. I’d get kind of tired of all this, and want some new clothes, and onions, and garlic as well. Apparently manna was pretty bland and without much texture.
I agree, who would want to try to duplicate this food supplied by God from Heaven.
My question is somewhat of a sidebar.
If there is a desire to represent manna, such as in a play depicting the Israelites gathering and eating manna, is there a better earthly substance to use than matzos?
Jello.
Gummy bears are the same thing only less water. Gelatin, sugar, flavoring, and water. Gerlatin could be like manna, in a pinch.
More simple is just to get a package of unflavored, uncolored gelatin, dissolve it in hot water, pour it out into a coolie sheet to be thin, let it harden, and strip it off the cookie sheet, then cut it up into flakes with scissors.
Voila! Pseudo-manna!
Maybe manna was just bug-eggs dissolved in rain and hardened. Figure that out --
