Bread and salt
Two words related to each other denote the fulfilment of covenants and have roots in ancient Egyptian folklore and continue to this day.
Egypt is considered the only country that calls bread “aish” in the sense of living our life because, without bread, there is no life or subsistence.
And salt, which for the Egyptians means keeping the covenant.
It is also associated with the ancient Egyptians. When the ancient Egyptian preserved certain foods such as fesikh or herring and salinity, he put salt in it to ensure its longevity. Even when mummifying the dead, salt is one of the mummification methods used.
There are many expressions associated with bread and salt, such as bread and salt. Beware that you betray bread and salt.
I wouldn’t. I like bread and salt…
In Upper Egypt, for example, the person with a vengeance does not eat with the one from whom the vengeance will take any food so that he does not become a traitor to bread.
And salt if he killed him.
