3 most important meals to a Buddha

The three most important meals offered to a Buddha:

1. The meal just before enlightenment (milk rice offered by Sujata, from Khuddaka Nikaya, Buddhavamsa 2.63, 20.16, 25.18)

2. The meal just after enlightenment (barley meal and honey balls, from Vinaya I.4)

3. The meal just before passing into parinibbana (most likely mushrooms, from Digha Nikaya 16)
