[Avodah] Astounding Meshech Chochma, Parev Meat?

>>Has  anyone noticed the Meshech Chochma [opening P VaYera] discussing the
angels  eating bassar BeChaLav under AA supervision?

He appears to consider that  meat of a Ben Pekuah is not flieshig....<<

I'm not sure why the Meshech Chochma needs to say this.  Somebody  (Rashi?) 
says there that A'A gave the malachim butter (with matza, I guess)  right away 
-- something to eat while the meat was being prepared -- and only  gave them 
the meat afterwards.
 

In addition, Rashi says they only pretended to eat (he even learns a  
midos-message from this, "when in Rome....") so I don't even know what it means  to 
say that malachim only eat kosher food.  Does that mean that when they  pretend 
to eat they will only pretend to eat if the food is kosher?   Couldn't they 
just pretend it's kosher?  (Please excuse feeble attempt at  humor.)
