Well, I tried hard but it seems I only scored on the bread...at least I can add an aside to this:
The many thousands of labourers who built the pyramids in Gizeh received a wage in the form of bread and beer.

The standard ration (2686-2181 BC) for a labourer was ten loaves and a measure of beer, supervisors and those of higher status were entitled to hundreds of loaves and many jugs of beer a day.
