"but Peter never partook of the swine or the other unclean flesh"
I wonder what Peter was eating here that Paul got in his
face about. Potato Chips?
Gal. 2:11 When Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong. 12 Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group.

Eating is NOT the subject, if you note in Galatians 2:4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
5. To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
6. But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me; God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
7. But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of *UNCIRCUMCISION* was committed unto me, as the gospel of the *CIRCUMCISION* WAS UNTO Peter;
8 (For He That wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the *CIRCUMCISION* the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
Not talking what food was eaten but that some wanted to adhere to the law of circumcision, which was not required of the Gentiles to be Christian.
It is the 'false brethren' that caused the dust up. Notice what verse 14 says.
