Those truffles too are no bad accessaries,
Follow'd by 'petits puits d'amour'—a dish
Of which perhaps the cookery rather varies,
So every one may dress it to his wish,
According to the best of dictionaries,
Which encyclopedize both flesh and fish;
But even sans 'confitures,' it no less true is,
There 's pretty picking in those 'petits puits.'

Byron

In the beginning there was fish, that made us smart... then we invented beer

So the ancient Egyptians paid for the labor for the building of the pyramids in credits that bought the workers what? Beer!
