Il nous souvient du poisson que nous mangions pour rien en Égypte, des concombres et des melons, des poireaux, des oignons et de l’ail.
Mishnah Bava Metzia
A laborer may eat cucumbers even to a denar’s worth, and dates even to a denar’s worth. Rabbi Elazar ben Hisma says: “A laborer may not eat more than the value of his wages. But the Sages permit it, but they teach a man not to be gluttonous as to close the door against himself.
