In Vedana (Feelings) Arise in Two Ways

It is stated in point 4 that Samphassa-ja-vedana “do not arise in an Arahant”

Since

1. We only experience vedana from either vipaka or samphassa-ja-vedana.
2. We experience pleasant and unpleasant sensations from vedana
3. Arahant has no samphass-ja-vedana
4. “All vedanā initially coming through the other five sense faculties are neutral, i.e., adukkhamasukha vedanā.”

Then we can conclude that the arahant does not experience pleasant or unpleasant feelings from an ice cream or rotten meat. However he will still taste ice-cream to be sweet, rotten meat to be sour.
