Best Answer

It's a leftover from Egyptian mythology. The food is for the soul to eat on its journey to the next world (on the other side of the desert).

The Egyptians believed in a multiplicity of souls, some of which had physical requirements like food, water, and sleep.

They also thought that the brain was an organ that cooled the blood.
