I am curious if the ancient Egyptians had fava beans to eat. In modern
Egypt we have a national dish called Ful Medames which is made from
fava. Some believe this might be a very ancient Egyptian dish. In
Greco-Roman writers some papyrus soup is mentioned but the writers did
not go into much details. Alan K. Bowman in his book Egypt After the
Pharaohs mentions this. Any suggestions or comments?
