SCRIPTURE

"Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it out upon the earth as water." — Deuteronomy 12:24 (ASV)

You shall not eat it
Neither with the flesh, nor separately:

you shall pour it upon the earth as water ;
as the blood of sacrifices was poured upon the altar, the blood of common flesh was to be poured upon the earth, signifying it was not to be used, and no account to be made of it; (See Gill on Deuteronomy 12:16)
