One must eat to survive, although less food is necessary if one wears a ring of slow digestion.

Corpses

Some corpses are poisonous, unless one exhibits poison resistance. Dogs and cats instinctively know not to eat poisonous species. Poisonous corpses include kobolds and their kin, killer bees, etc. All corpses (except fungus spp.?) have shelf life issues...specifically they must be eaten within a very small number of moves of kill. Even one move after a kill, rotten food is possible. More serious is (Ulch!) tainted food, resulting in food poisoning, a normally fatal condition. One antidote is eucalyptus leaf.

Yellow and purple fungi, including shriekers, are hallucinogenic.

It is said that you are what you eat. Of especial interest are the meats of the leprechaun, floating eye, etc.
