Midrash sur L’Exode 16:13

R. Yosé the son of Hanina stated: If you are amazed at this remember, that the manna descended for each Israelite with a taste that varied according to the needs of each individual. The young men, for instance, ate it as bread, as it is said: Behold, I will cause to rain bread from heaven for you (Exod. 16:4); the elders ate it as wafers of honey, as it is said: And the taste of it was like wafers made with honey (ibid., v. 31); the sucklings, as milk from the breasts of their mothers, as is said: And the taste of it was as the taste of a cake baked with oil (Num. 11:8);³²Reading leshad ha-shemen (“a cake with oil”) as le-shad ha-shemen (“as a fat breast”). for the ill, as fine flour mixed in honey, as it is said: Thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil (Exod. 16:13); and the gentiles who tasted it found it as bitter as coriander seed, as is said: Now the manna was like coriander seed (Num. 11:7).
