Watch your spelling: the word for "meat" is {Ha'DIbaH}, with the qaghwI' (apostrophe) at the end of the first syllable.

Agreed, though stylistically I'd have referred to it rather as {Ha'DIbaH} from there on out. In this context the fact that it's a chunk of meat is probably more important to the narrative than the fact that it's columnar in shape.
