Elaborating the term apadinne Acharya Shri Atmaram ji M. says-Bhagavan never took any vow regarding savoury food. However, he certainly did so with regard to insipid food. For example, one of his thirteen special resolves was about taking pulse bran. Therefore, here apadinne (not desirous of) has a concealed reference to savoury food.
(Acharanga, p. 671) Avoiding food and bowl belonging to others-According to the commentary (Churni) Bhagavan put the divine cloth he got at the time of initiation on his shoulder and let it remain there for thirteen months. He never used it to cover his body to protect himself from cold. After thirteen months he discarded that cloth and never used any cloth to cover his body.
According to the Acharanga Churni, Bhagavan ate his first meal after initiation in a bowl provided by a householder. After that he only used his palms as a bowl and never ate food from a bowl. In the weaving room at Nalanda, Gaushalak sought his permission to bring food for him. Looking at the possibility that the food would be brought in a bowl provided by a householder, Bhagavan declined. आचारांग सूत्र
