This is the Palatinate pronounciation of "Saumagen": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saumagen

@MartinRosenau: The wikipedia article you linked to describes some food. This is not what Elaines's mother meant when she talked about her overeating father.

Saumaga is a word in Palatinate dialect. (The Palatinate is a region in Germany.) The standard German version of Saumaga is
Saumagen
This is a composite noun, composed of:
die Sau
sow (also "sod" in BE)
a female pig
der Magen
stomach, maw, craw
a muscular and holow organ in the gastrointestinal tract between the gullet and the small intestine of all mammals and many other animals.
So, a Saumagen is literally the stomach of a female pig. But in fact the gender of the pig doesn't really count. It's just that farmers preferred to keep sows over boars because they are easier to handle, so a typical farmer who had only 2 or 3 pigs, only kept sows.
And sows/pigs are known to eat really everything that is edible, and they can eat large amounts of food. So the stomach of this animal is able to digest literally any food, and in any amount. And when you say, that a person has a Saumagen, then you say, that this person eats everything that is edible, and that this person also eats large amounts of food without feeling sick.
There also is some food that is named "Pfälzer Saumagen" (literal translation: "Palatinate Sow Stomach"). You can find a description of it on Wikipedia. But it's not this food that your mother meant when she talked about your father. It was the meaning described above.
