Existence is divided into two realms: vertical and horizontal. The horizontal realm is the physical, measurable reality. Vertical is the rest.

Angels are beings existing in the vertical realm.

Satan is not a physical being. By these definitions, he is an angel.

He is a fallen angel, who took one third of Heavenly angles with him (maybe he was even in charge of them. There are different classes of angels; cherubim, seraphim, archangels, maybe even more. Satan was a cherubim. The cherubim serve the purpose of magnifying the holiness and power of God. This is one of their main responsibilities throughout the Bible. In addition to praising God, they also serve as a visible reminder of the majesty and glory of God and His abiding presence with His people. Cherubim are in front of God's throne (seraphim are above the throne). This is where Satan's heart got prideful and he envied God.

Had rained down manna on them to eat,
And given them of the bread of heaven.
Men ate angels’ food;
He sent them food to the full.
Are you saying that angels in the spirit (verticle) realm eat the same physical (horizontal) manna that the Israelites ate?

I am not saying anything, just posting a verse as you ask.

So, did angels eat physical mama like the Israelites?

I believe they eat the food that God has created for them, but they also eat food here on earth.

So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah and said, “Quickly, make ready three measures of fine meal; knead it and make cakes.” And Abraham ran to the herd, took a tender and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hastened to prepare it. So he took butter and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree as they ate.

These were physical manifestations of spiritual forms.
