actually, no, it's really "cates". I checked it with the original scan and they have that word too. So I looked it up on wiktionary.

I'm still recording... I read this as crates. The food's inside the crates, eh?
So it's actually the food itself that is meanthttps://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cate
cate (plural cates)
1.(in the plural) A delicacy or item of food.
