Easily testable across all game modes. If you one-hit a passive mob that drops meat with a bow shot, using a bow that has Flame on it, it will drop cooked meat. If you one-hit the same kind of mob with a sword, using a sword that has Fire Aspect on it (You'll probably need sharpness as well, diamond sword alone doesn't always one-hit) then the mob doesn't drop cooked meat.

Yeah I find it a bit odd that a flaming bow-shot that kills them in one hit cooks the meat but not a flaming sword-hit. I'm not sure which way Mojang intends it to be, but I think it should be both the bow and sword kill them and cook it.
Mobs need to die from firedamage in order for the meat to be cooked.
The last hit you did was from the weapon.
Works as intended.
