tehblaed, black holes as far as mordern physics can tell, do not return information about what they ate, other than I think charge (maybe), rotation, mass and total enthropy (which might be bound by the other parameters).

They are the great information erasers in the sky.

Depending on their mass, they eventually evaporate (we think), but the energy/mass that exits them is very very unrelated to that which entered.

Mojo, any predictions about what goes on inside a black hole are untestable from outside a black hole, which makes discussing what happens to the matter that falls into them rather silly.
