Answer: "Beefburgers."

Funnily enough, all of these answers have been involved in the conversation with Peter. The mutated plums are from Alan's accusation that Peter has plums in his mouth... "and the plums have mutated and they've got beaks". The spinal column in a bap one is from Alan's assertation that a farmer that didn't laugh at his joke must have eaten an infected spinal column in a bap and that it was this that hade made him a little slow on the uptake. Chips are another unlikely foodstuff that Alan accuses Peter of feeding to his animals, but it is donkeys that Alan thinks Peter feeds chips to, not swans.
