Talk:Food appraisal

Did some testing, and it looks like while you will never be warned for breaking vegan conduct specifically, such as eating an Egg, your messages will be different if you are going to be breaking BOTH vegan and vegetarian conduct or breaking vegetarian while previously breaking vegan. IE:

1. Player w/ FA and who is currently vegan eats orc corpse; player gets message: The corpse smells foul and unfamiliar to you. Eat it anyway?

2. Player w/ FA and who is currently vegan eats egg: player gets no message but breaks vegan conduct.

3. Player w/ FA who ate egg then eats orc corpse: player gets message: The corpse smells unfamiliar to you. Eat it anyway?

However, if you eat a CORPSE that will break your vegan conduct but NOT your vegetarian conduct, you will in fact be warned. However:


 * there are only 3 corpses corpses that count as vegetarian not vegan: brown puddings, gray oozes and green slimes.
 * all 3 have some kind of more dangerous ailment: acid/posion/sliming, thus that will show before the vegan warning does.
 * the only time message breaking vegan but not vegetarian will show is if you are immune to acid if eating gray ooze or brown pudding, or poison/acid/sliming if eating a green slime. (thus you must be a green slime eating a green slime to see the message in this case)

Is this intended? eat.c 1838-1854 seems to suggest that eating anything animal-matter related (leather/bone/dragonhide/wax) OR a nonvegan-but-vegetarian corpse will trigger this message but doesn't seem to say anything about non-corpse non-animal-matter comestible. Thus a candy bar or egg will not show this message. The only non-"flesh" animal product that triggers this message seems to be eating wax candles as a creature who can do so.
