Shelley:
And we have to remember that cooked meat looks a lot different from raw, and 
in one of Molly's prize stews, I bet it would be yummy!

I just think that with all the uses for the other parts (claw, hide, 
heartstring) that the meat would have to be eaten, otherwise, you are just 
chopping up a perfectly good dragon and wasting all that meat, which is the 
bulk of the dragon. If you think Chinese society, they use every part of a 
tiger or exotic animal in medicinal tonics and herbs, and I can't imagine a 
dragon would be any different.
