Meat cut into chunks. 禁臠 (forbidden meat) was a story from the time of Emperor Yuan of Jin. Referring to meat reserved for the emperor that others could not eat. Later Emperor Xiaowu sought a son-in-law for Princess Jinling and had his eye on Xie Hun. Hence Wang Xun's response to Yuan Song had the phrase "do not approach the forbidden meat." Seen in (Book of Jin). Now calling precious things 禁臠 and calling a son-in-law 禁臠客 are all based on this.
