The question then becomes whether turning body parts into food changes them from body parts to non-body parts. My initial reaction is no: we have *tIqnagh lemDu'*/tknag hooves/ from KCD. I can't think of any other food item from a body part that has been pluralized in canon.
This confusion was addressed at qepHom interview 2018 with Okrand. When I mentioned the "detached"-idea of chicken wings as a food item, and asked if they should not take the suffix -Du', Okrand clearly answered "Why not? They're still wings!" So at least foor food items, they are considered body parts — even when detached. -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.tlhInganHol.com http://klingon.wiki/En/BodyParts
