Abstract

This short article intends to present, in general lines, the Egyptian nourishing habits, their sources of vegetable and, mainly, foods of animal origin, aiming to demonstrate to what extent one may establish an ancient Egyptian vegetarianism. Themes such as gardens and orchards will be approached, as well as the use of cereals, meats and fishes available for nourishment, and food taboos, which could be either of animal or vegetable origin. To approach such taboos, we will advance into the ancient Egyptian religion and its relation to food, both in the world of the living and in the post mortem.
