Given the context of the passage, what does the idiom "cakes and ale" mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare (excerpt) MALVOLIO: Sir Toby, I must be round with you. My lady bade me tell you that, though she harbours you as her kinsman she's nothing allied to your disorders. If you can separate yourself and your misdemeanours, you are welcome to the house; if not, an it would please you to take leave of her, she is very willing to bid you farewell. ... SIR TOBY: Out o' tune? sir, ye lie. Art any more than a steward? Dost thou think, because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale? ... SIR TOBY: Th' art i' th' right. Go, sir, rub your chain with crumbs. A stope of wine, Maria! MALVOLIO: Mistress Mary, if you priz'd my lady's favor at any thing more than contempt, you would not give means for this uncivil rule. She shall know of it, by this hand.
