Flesh Pot
Holman Bible Dictionary
A kettle used for cooking meat. The murmuring of the Israelites against Moses (Exodus 16:3 ) included the exaggerated claim that they customarily relaxed by the flesh pots in Egypt and had more than enough bread. In the Ancient Near East meat was not part of the common people's regular diet.
