Exodus 16:13-16, 31

Exodus 16:13-16 MSG

That evening quail flew in and covered the camp and in the morning there was a layer of dew all over the camp. When the layer of dew had lifted, there on the wilderness ground was a fine flaky something, fine as frost on the ground. The Israelites took one look and said to one another, man-hu (What is it?). They had no idea what it was. So Moses told them, “It’s the bread GOD has given you to eat. And these are GOD’s instructions: ‘Gather enough for each person, about two quarts per person; gather enough for everyone in your tent.’”

Exodus 16:31 MSG

The Israelites named it manna (What is it?). It looked like coriander seed, whitish. And it tasted like a cracker with honey.
