50 people, 20 days, 2000 meals. Indeed, an elephant should do that. My, how do you eat an elephant rib ? (sorry, this is outside the ML main subject).

aha ! They didn't thought that way, being afraid of chaos corruption (I guess they got that right from the very beginning) But indeed, some old spirit-talker or other might well do that (which may bother the dragon-spirit).
