The famous 'red stuff' that Esau craved when he sold his birthright (Genesis 25:30, twice in the verse). The text emphasizes the redness: 'Let me gulp down some of that red, that red stuff!' The Masoretic pointing ('ha-adom') stresses the color, which gives Esau his nickname 'Edom' (red). Traditionally understood as red lentil stew, the narrative fixates on Esau's impulsive appetite—he's so focused on the immediate sensory experience (red, hot, savory) that he trades away his inheritance for a meal.
