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.)
