Talk:Meat

Rewrite
pretty heavy rewrite. i tried to keep the gist of the relevant information while also removing unnecessary stuff... but i know i have a habit of going overboard on cleanup, so it's probs best to list what i removed in case there needs to be discussion on whether it's really irrelevant or not. apologies for longness, eheh
 * "Consumable meat will have a description of the meat benefits, clearly indicating consumable meat status."

replaced with a mention of restoring health and granting well-fed buffs. not quite the same as what this is saying, but hopefully implies it well enough
 * "Similarly, many of the beginning quests are a 'hunt for hides' quest that use hides that are not leather trade goods items."

didn't seem relevant on a page about meat
 * "There is not a whole lot of documentation or examples of raw meat and raw fish." "The addition of the two 'raw ...' types does not appear to be a significant factor in game play; the four pet types [...] that can eat one or both of these can also eat the more readily available normal version. Interestingly, the mob, Crocolisks, that drop the one known example, Partially Digested Meat, will not eat it when tamed as a pet."

some analysis & trivia from 2008. would have been helpful at the time, but probably not needed anymore
 * mentions of raw fish

because they're not meat
 * "'Ingredients' is not the same thing as the raw types, but there may be some overlap. Meat eaters will all eat pretty much any meat ingredient that looks like meat, but will not eat [Spider Ichor], for example."

the second sentence here is what i removed because to be honest... i have no idea what it's trying to say
 * "Because of this, hunter pets that only eat meat, which is the most restrictive hunter pet diet, are actually easy to feed."

would probably belong better in an article about hunter pet families

let me know if you think any of these things should go back in or if there's anything else that needs changing :0

ALSO, somewhat related: i looked into raw meat while editing this and found that while those four families no longer eat it, several newer families like goats & hydras do have raw meat listed for them on wowhead & petopia. was it reintroduced or something? -- Eithris (talk) 02:43, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
