(Occurrence 0) foul meat has never entered my mouth

Alternate translation: “I have never eaten foul meat”

(Occurrence 0) foul meat

“disgusting, unclean meat.” This refers to meat that is unclean because it has come from an animal that has died of sickness or old age or was killed by another animal. The word “foul” shows his disgust over meat like this.
