Foods high in Arachidonic acid are red meats, poultry, and egg yolks. I've studied this extensively because this fat is metabolized in such a way as to cause inflammation. Limiting my intake has helped dramatically with my rheumatoid arthritis.
Another person's answer:mg of arachidonic acid per 100 g of food, and error ranges:
891 free range duck egg yolks ±172 = 719 to 1063
390 chicken egg yolks ±72 = 318 to 462
294 ox liver (aka beef liver) ±64 = 230 to 358
153 lamb kidney ±11 = 142 to 164
100 Atlantic salmon (no skin) ±92 = 8 to 192
75 skinless turkey (breast, leg, and whole bird) ±24 = 51 to 99
63 turkey with skin (breast, leg, and whole bird) ±13 = 50 to 76
56 pork (leg steak, aka leg cutlet, fresh ham steak) ±8 = 48 to 64
56 skinless chicken legs ±3 = 53 to 59
49 lamb fillet ±7 = 42 to 56
35 beef (rump steak, aka round steak, rump roast) ±5 = 30 to 40
31 skinless chicken breast ±2 = 29 to 33
The error ranges I calculated are for plus or minus one standard deviation within the 3 to 13 samples of each food tested. That gives a 68% chance that a sample of similar food would measure in the range. Visible fat was trimmed from each of the meats before testing the lean.
The human body can produce arachidonic acid from linoleic acid, which is also present in animal fats and in larger amounts in vegetable oils. (See chart of other fatty acids in foods in related links.) So to have a good chance of reducing arachidonic acid in your body, you may have to eat a diet low in total fat.

What foods have oxalic acid?
Some foods, such as rhubarb and spinach, are high in oxalic acid
Dr Floyd chilton's book Win the War Within has a limited list of amount of AA arachidonic acid in foods Good book but not interested in his receipes My diet is abnormally high in AA?
Dr. Floyd Chilton's point is that the typical American diet is too high in arachidonic acid (AA). As medical science finds further biochemical pathways involving fatty acid metabolism some of the details in the book may become obsolete. However, Dr. Clinton makes a compelling argument for reducing AA now. Forget the specific recipes, but use the data in the book (and other available data) to make healthier choices about food low in AA for better health.

List of foods that cause acid reflux?
Judging from my own experience sweets and high sugar content is the worst. Also anything fried. Carbonated drinks and coffee proably from the caffiene are another. Also alchohol and spicy foods cause a high acid level. Meat is hard for your stomach to digest which means more acid and more discomfort.
Why are you not supposed to take halodrol if you once had cancer?
This is a complicated subject... The reason is because of one of the main ingredients in Halodrol Liquid Gels - arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid was originally hailed (by the creators of it) as a muscle building miracle supplement. And while it has some positive effects on muscle growth it's nothing super great IMHO. For examle I'd say creatine has much better anabolic properties than arachidonic acid - plus creatine is completely safe when used as directed. Which leads to the dangers of arachidonic acid. Cancer is found to be closely related to inflammation. A HUGE majority of those with cancer have, and also seemed to have a long history of various types of inflammation. When you're exposed to inflammation for long, chronic periods of time this could lead to the growth of cancer cells. But we ALL get types of inflammation at one time or another from numerous things. Arthritis is a another condition of chronic inflammation. Arachidonic acid seems to accelerate and spread inflammation much more rapidly than it would without the addition of arachidonic acid. So for example if you have cancer arachidonic acid can accelerate the canver, causing it to grow and progress. But with any inflammation arachidonic acid seems to speed it up and increase the severity of it quite badly. I actually have an acquaintance who took a supplement containing arachidonic acid. He had a slight stomach inflammation that he didn't know about at the time - as he had no symptoms. After he began taking arachidonic acid, within a couple weeks he ended up in the hospital with severe stomach problems. He remained there for over a month and lost 30 pounds in the end. After much medication and tortue tests, (he's still on meds BTW), he seems he will be fine now. Of course he stopped dosing the arachidonic acid immediately when the symptoms of severe stomach discomfort first arose. It seems one reason behind the occurrence of these problems is that arachidonic acid seems to lower your body levels of Omega 3 acids which are critical for optimal health. The results can be, but no limited to, severely amplified inflammations, acceleration of the growth of existing cancer cells, the drying out/aching of joints, and cardiac related problems. There are many supplements popping up that include arachidonic acid such as Halodrol Liquid Gels and other supplements that contain high amounts of acachidonic acid alone - such as X-Factor. I'd personally stay away from these products but if you have your heart set on trying them please do a tremendous amount of research.
