Maybe it can be symbolic?

"Of course we feed human flesh to our demon steeds! Well, actually we take a sack of oats, dress it up in human clothing and the liturgist casts a Transubstantiation blessing* on it, but that turns the oats into human flesh! Really! Yes I know they still look like oats, but that's because you're not looking at them with the proper magical sight!"

Feeding the horses _actual_ human flesh would, in this case, be a very rare, unusual, Heroquesty thing to do.
