When taking a class on ancient civilizations, mostly Greek and Roman but it digressed quite a bit and often, I'd read that the enslaved Hebrews in Egypt were fed sausages made from grain and mushrooms (or some sort of fungi) and drank beer. Seems that was the ultra cheap fare for slaves.

Think about our wonderful cuisine on the plane, Green Lantern. Makes perfect sense.
