As the OP states: "food that is either found through the scriptures or about that time (from other countries is allowed too) from history."

A quick search of this thread seems to show that yours is the first mention of linlels - even if it is out of alphabetic sequence

Yeah I know it’s out of alphabetic sequence. I just went to the posts that were mentioning the foods starting with the letter L and didn’t see it. I was wondering if someone later said it. Oh and even though I checked the spelling on it I still spelled it wrong. It’s lentils. I knew I was gonna do that.

We are actually up to 'Z' .. some, no names mentioned  .. had an out of sequence discussion about lentils and threw everyone off. 

 

Zatar - Zatar dates back to ancient Egypt. It's a middle eastern spice mix made from dried herbs, including thyme and oregano, sesame seeds, sumac and salt.  (Yes!!  I Googled it.  How many ancient foods do you know starting with 'Z  ).
