What's even weirder with them is they're not opposed to cannibalism, but they won't kill people just to eat them. If they happen to kill you in battle, well, meat's back on the menu, boys - but they won't hunt you for food

I could square this- I personally don't eat non-fish meat...BUT if a murderous deer or hatchet wielding chicken attacked me and I killed it in self defense, I'd kinda shrug my shoulders and be fine chowing down
I think this is pretty understandable under a belief of not being wasteful. If a corpse can be eaten instead then other life won't have to be killed or harvested for food. There are also true life cultures who will consume a slain enemy or even dead family members, mostly for spiritual reasons.
Oh yeah, it makes sense from a world point of view; they're basically freegan cannibals, more or less.
It is one of the reasons (along with the whole wood thing) that elf civs rarely tend to be allied with dwarves or humans in-game; their values are different enough to be mistrusted
