I have been wondering something about meat quality when skinned and cooking. And since there is not really a way for me to test it efficiently, I figured I would just ask the Staff.

We know meat has quality levels when skinned just like hides and pelts do. Generally we assume this is tied to value at the vendor. Since we can eat food though, I was wondering if it had any effects on hunger levels when consumed too. The same applies to the "quality" of cooking when prepared.

So my questions are as follow, to see if there is a mechanic difference or just a role-play difference between these things.

1) Does quality of the meat have a mechanical affect when consumed?  Would a piece of meat that is excellent quality offer more bites or provide more "hunger mitigation" per bite than say, a decent quality piece of meat. I have not seen a difference in number of bites between meat from the same animal in my experience though.

2) Does cooking expertise provide any mechanical affect to food when it is consumed? Would a poorly cooked piece of meat provide more food or more hunger mitigation than an expertly cooked piece? Or are the different cooking techniques purely a cosmetic/role playing vehicle for character?

So really, is meat quality and cooking purely cosmetic/role-play centered, or is there any advantage to it from a mechanical standpoint?
