The Tertiary spans the time from 65.5 million to 2.6 million years ago. During this time, many edible mammals and birds existed that a human could hunt. Early on, plant based foods would have been limited to a few seeds, very few fruits, and maybe some types of leaves. Examples would include gingkoes and cycads (in some places early on), which have seeds that are edible if carefully treated, horsetails, and potentially fruit or seeds from palm trees. By 2.6 million years ago there were probably as many edible fruits and vegetables as there are today.
