I just think it's the strongest connection of our choices - Like, I would've gone with it over Curry (although Curry would've been my third preference).
Beyond the saying "Eat Crow" - Crow is actually not a horrible meat - it's generally safe to consume and is like eating any other dark meat bird (I mean, Duck/Turkey will have a lot MORE meat - but it's fairly similar). It's also extremely commonly eaten in a lot of fantasy stories around campfires (like rat).
When I look at the board for connections to "Meat", I just think Calf & Crow are the most obvious two to me.

That said, "Meat Roll" might be a thing that I'm not super familiar with. It actually sounds like a thing that would be popular in the UK and not in the US. I think "Meat Pie" certainly is - and it could be another phrase for the same.
