Our choices are a little limited. Surely we could not eat bronto, as they are as violent as any ogre when threatened and have hides as hard as stone. Tezpadam are no good either, tough and snake-like. For the most part, it's eat nug or eat nothing. I have never heard of a dwarf eat a nug he considered a pet. They're kept separately.
Really? This is doubly interesting, since Orzammar considers the surface caste to be... run-off, sort of. Those who were unfit to remain in Orzammar. I suppose that should be very heartening to know that even the so-called worst of us are so good.
