Wigfrid and Butterfly wings

[codysgroup]

I think Wigfrid should be able to eat butterfly wings because technically butterfly wings contain meat and are a great source of protein (which Wigfrid loves).

And healing. And technically butterfly wings are meat.

I got butter and I thought to myself, I could eat this. Then, SHE SAID IT WAS NO FOOD FOR A WARRIOR $%^$!^%$^&!$%

So, I still made waffle and watched it rot.

They are?  In our world, butterfly wings are made of chitin.

[BipedalBear]

Chitin is a glucose monomer while tubulin is protein monomer; to say butterly wings are meat is to say ice cream is made out of ice. But seriously, butter is a dairy product that comes from the cow. Then again, Don't Starve Universe is a strange and magical place that does not apply real world logic. We just have to accept this and move on.

They are listed as flying flowers. This is a magic world controlled by mysterious beings. Not the real wold.

I think wigfried is in a good state, her fighting power is so strong, there has to be a crucial contra.

As mentioned by @codexlumen: they are flying flowers

Wigfrid can eat eggs. She ought to be able to eat other animal byproducts as well. The same thing happened to me with the butter

Wigfrid wants MEAT! meat is the best. Butterfly wings not meat, egg baby meat so good enough. XD

It's not a matter of us looking at each food and saying yay or nay for Wigfrid being able to eat each one: every edible item has a food type and there are a variety of systems that rely on those food type definitions (most prominently: crock pot cooking). If we had the luxury, we could make some tweaks to what Wigfrid can and cannot eat to make the rules clearer, but changing any of those definitions could potentially have large ripple effects through these other systems, so it's not a safe change to make give the time we have. Rather than take the time to make sure that gets done right, we've left everything as is and she is able to eat anything defined as meat.
