It is pig food or also called pig slop. the KJV called it husk. Newer translations call it pods or pig slop. The verse is Luke 15:16.
Another answer: The original Greek word translated "husks," keration, refers to the fruit of the carob tree (the same carob that is used as a chocolate substitute today). It had a sweet taste and was not only used for fattening swine, but was also used as an article of food by the lower classes of Jesus' day.
The point was that the prodigal son had sunk as low as he could go. The Jews in Jesus' audience would have been appalled by his proximity to the pigs themselves (filthy, unclean animals) just as much as they would the fact that he was ready to share their food.
