Do you think Faquarl

-has cooked human flesh?

Since Faquarl has been a chef for millennia, or at least spent that time in kitchens and spirits often do eat humans, my mind understandably went there. I was also influenced by Journey to The west where most of the antagonists are demons who try to eat one of the central characters, because they believe that since he's a holy man, his flesh will give immortality to whoever eats it, and often try cooking him.

Also I took some inspiration from Hannibal.

According to our favourite Djinni, spirits in general don't get anything out of eating things unless it's alive so that it's life-force galvanizes their own. Based on this information there would be no point of cooking as only living flesh is useful.

Still, Ive got a feeling that spiteful towards humans as Faquarl is, he would take some enjoyment from preparing them as food as revenge.

Any opinions?
