It is possible some animal hides or tree barks were used to prepare this in ancient period. (Remember, only after the advent of Jainism and Buddhism, Hinduism stopped
animal sacrifices in Yagams and Homams, to propitiate the Devas). So, as per recorded History, even brahmins were not vegetarians, in the vedic age.

Pardon me for deviating from the topic... just couldn't help it...

The practice of animal sacrifices in yagnas does not infer that brahmins were non-vegetarians??? It simply would mean that offerings were made to the sacrificial fire. Again, there is the concept of symbolism... Pls see this link:
