Best Answer

The ancient Jews did not have any special meaning to sharing a meal.

although, the Arthur Shai Agnon- a Jewish-Israeli who won a literature Nobel prize- used to describe sexual interactions with "sharing a meal". it has nothing to do with ancient Jews, but maybe that's why you had that in mind.
