I give you two options - either the elves
did hunt for fun, or they ate dwarves.

Considering how rude the elves were in PJ's Hobbit, I wouldn't be surprised at all if serving 'lesser' food was just one more way to slight the dwarves. Now, being a (very flexible) vegetarian myself, I'm not calling veggie food lesser per se, but you have to admit that lettuce doesn't constitute much of a meal.

My little brother brews the most amazing beer in his dorm's basement, which is hardly a lab.
