Allaah azawajal gave them salwa, it's a bird called a 'quail' in english.
Wathallalna AAalaykumualghamama waanzalna AAalaykumu almanna waalssalwakuloo min tayyibati ma razaqnakum wamathalamoona walakin kanooanfusahum yathlimoona
[2:57] And We gave you the shade of clouds and sent down to you Manna and quails, saying: "Eat of the good things We have provided for you:" (But they rebelled); to us they did no harm, but they harmed their own souls.
Allaah Almighty knows best.

[Qur'an 02:57]
And We made the clouds to give shade over you [a] and We sent to you manna and quails. Eat of the good things that We have given you.
And they did not do Us any harm, but they wronged their own souls.
[57a.]The Bible speaks of a cloud, clear and bright during the night, thick and gloomy in day time (Exod. 13:21), a very unnatural phenomenon to continue for forty years. The Qur’ån simply speaks of clouds having given them shade at some point in their journey in the wilderness, when probably the excessive heat of the Arabian Desert had become unbearable.
[57b.] The mann and salwå are the manna and quails of Exodus, 16th chapter.
Literally, mann is anything which comes to man without much effort (LL). In a saying of the Holy Prophet the truffle is spoken of as being mann. LL has the following explanation under the word turanjabßn: “A kind of manna; the manna of the thorny plants called by the Arabs the håj, and hence by European botanists Alhagi; according to Dr. Royle it is a sweetish juice which exudes from the Alhagi maurorum, crystallizes into small granular masses, and is usually distinguished by the name of Persian manna; a kind of dew that falls mostly in Khuråsån and Må-warå al-nahr and in our country, mostly upon the håj; the best thereof is that which is fresh or moist and white (Ibn Sßnå),
the mann or manna mentioned in the Qur’ån”. Some say it was honey. Salwå means whatever renders one content in a case of privation. It is a certain bird resembling the quail (LL). The mann and the salwå formed the food of the Israelites in the wilderness. According to Zj, it includes all that Allåh bestowed on them as a gift in the wilderness and granted to them freely without much exertion on their part (AH).
