Winged animals, ducks, geese were utilized for their eggs and for the meat. The wealth of natural products included apples, apricots, fruits, dates, figs, melons, mulberries, pears, plums, pomegranates, and quinces. Pastry shop things included bread, now and then enhanced with creature and vegetable fat; drain, spread, and cheddar; leafy foods juice; nectar and sesame seeds.
