What have I missed, Brothers and Sisters? Please help me in compiling a comprehensive list of the most delicious foods of the Holy Bible!

Oh, Sister Basilissa: What a wonderful idea, to research the Bible for foods that are both delicious and pleasing to our Lord. A very simple and always-available food is the apple. Now, I know that this can cause some regret because of Eve's rebellion and sinful nature, as we are reminded of our own sinful natures, but apples do have many benefits. Song of Solomon 2:5 "Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I
am sick of love." Although, I can't speak much from personal experience there, Dear, as my Wilbur (he passed on to meet his Saviour a few years ago) was not the most affectionate lover in the world, sad to say. Following the years of being in the army overseas during WW II, he developed a bit of depression. However, I'm happy that he often found relief from his burdensome loads by visiting his private health spa, with many of his menfolk friends. As for me, I was never without my apples. Thank you again, Sister Basilissa, for bring up such an enriching topic, and may you have a blessed afternoon. Sincerely, Isabella W.
