No, no. You don't EAT the corpses, you eat OFF of them. Why spend good gold on camp furniture when you have dead orcs lying idle?

There are bodies? Whenever we killed something, the body would disappear as if a giant hand came down upon the land and removed the corpse, leaving behind their loot.
Of course that was not as disconcerting as when the giant hand would make the very terrain of the world vanish, leaving behind a flat plain of straight lines.

One of my characters was a halfling thief who wanted to set up a spell component and alchemical supply business. Part of his equipment was a donkey carrying empty boxes, bags, and jars, and he would collect 'samples' of just about everything in the dungeon. If you ever needed a pint of orc's blood, a handful of troglodyte scales, or a ground-up onyx, he was your go-to guy

In the games I DM it's very much loot-'em-and-leave-'em, most of the time.
In the game I play in this has become a serious point of argument. We have a Necromancer in the crew who is happy to get 'em up and get 'em going; we also have a couple of goody-goodies who can't stand for this, and both sides have supporters within this large party. Hence, every time we leave a few bodies lying around there's guaranteed to be half an hour of pushing and shoving and yelling and facewashes and interrupted spells.
Meanwhile, the two Part-Orcs (I play one) ignore everyone and just chow down, and by the time they're done there's not enough left for either side to use.

On one particularly fun evening the party of four adventurers just polished off a goblin ambush (including hidden pit trap) along a well travelled road.
The wild elf ranger and wild elf druid voted for placing the goblin heads on sharpened sticks around the edges of the exposed pit trap as a warning for future goblins that might want to get uppity.
The two clerics of Tyr then began an hour long discussion (of literal time) on the various merits of honoring the dead vs. protecting the innocent. Eventually they agreed to disagree and the heads went up on pikes.
It was awesome.
