sūkaramaddava

Literally meaning "soft pig," this term is traditionally interpreted as tender pork, though some scholars suggest it refers to truffles or mushrooms found by pigs. It signifies the specific dish served by Cunda the smith at the Buddha's final meal, which the Buddha noted only a Tathāgata could digest.
