."Cud" is partly digested food which certain kinds of animals, including cows, regurgitate and then chew some more, before swallowing. See the links below for more info.

It is a partially digested mass of food - usually grass.
Ruminants chew the cud. They can bring up food from their first stomach and chew it over again to help break it down into something more digestible.
For R&S relevance, the bible claims that hares are ruminants and chew the cud.

Cud is basically cow vomit. Cows regurgitate their food and chew on it some more. I don't know if any other animals do this, but cows do.
