Rather odd, the notion of matter entering the singularity

Relative to the external universe, anything below the event horizon is frozen in time just below the event horizon or wherever else matter within the collapse was when singularity moved the event horizon out past it.

So, in theory, most matter "eaten" by the black hole is just below the event horizon.
