Alternate Creature Interpretations (Feel free to add your own additions)

[Xania]

I think that Orc meat wouldn't be all that tasty -- if you have enough orcs and you are starving, and don't mind becoming a wendigo for eating another sapient creature, maybe. But if these are standard fantasy orcs, then I doubt that ANYONE would want to eat their meat, much less humans.

Picture a steak made out of some sort of green tire-rubber, seeping with grease, smelling like a bear, and probably has some sort of gristle in tones of dark brown -- and now picture eating that.

If they were pOrcs, like you see in some Japanese fantasy games, maybe. But even those guys are pretty gross-looking.

But those made for eating could be different than the soldiers.
Besides humans are eating strange things all the time.
