WONDERFUL SPAM !
An old joke would be “but is it, really?” I know it’s made of pork, but once it was a common, and very disliked, item in American military rations, and there were lots of grim jokes revolving around what it was made from. In American military culture, complaints about the food mean the troops’ morale is still high enough that they probably won’t start shooting their officers. And then there were the non-melting chocolate bar “tropical emergency survival rations” the Navy got for decades, which were deliberately made somewhat unpleasant tasting to the American palate so that people wouldn’t steal them and would not eat them until actual emergencies.
I’ve had Musubi before, because I saw it on the 50 episode State Plate TV series. Musubi’s decent, I think. I didn’t have the best (that is, big enough) Seaweed to go with it, but it worked.

I wonder if either, or both, of those are OCs. If they are, they’re not on this site.
Yeah, but the cat isn’t getting anything out of that grass nutritionally. There was a big research paper recently that actually dug down and got to the truth of the matter.
Cats eat grass because it causes their GI tract to evacuate its contents faster than normal (in the rearward direction)—to clear internal parasites.

and nothing from a plant is required for them to live a happy, purring (in some cases) life
The titanic litter box bombs my mother in law’s cat dropped before she followed the veterinarian’s advice and started letting him eat grass whenever he wanted beg to differ. Animals chase the non-standard food items as an instictive response to day-to-day dietary needs; plenty of herbivores are well documented eating bones and meat for the calcium and protein, and they sure as heck are gaining sustenance from it, even if it’s just minerals for growing antlers or eggs or teeth. Ask someone who keeps songbirds how often they replace the cuttlebone in the cage, or someone with chickens how many grasshoppers they ever see in the yard.

Herbivore/carnivore/omnivore refers specifically to what the species requires to live. Horses might eat the odd critter (I’ve watched a horse chase a hen and eat all her chicks), but they do not derive any sustenance from it and require nothing that plant matter cannot give. Supplements like salted fish are sometimes given, but serve no different purpose than giving a horse a salt-lick.
Dogs are a strange mix of omnivore and obligate carnivore. They require several substances only found in meat, but can digest starches readily as well.
Cats are less complex. They are an obligate carnivore in the purest sense. They gain very little from any starch source, and nothing from a plant is required for them to live a happy, purring (in some cases) life.

Lots of animals that are dedicated herbivores are situational meat-eaters, the same way dedicated carnivores like dogs and cats will go hog-ass wild on grass sometimes; watch specialized seed-eating birds during nesting/hatching season, a great many of them will utterly wreck butterflies, moths, grubs, and grasshoppers to bulk up for egg-laying and to feed the chicks after they hatch.
oops anon
“Opportunistic” means it’s something they do in spite of their overall nature.
Actually, they are herbivores. Their gut can only process vegetable matter. Eating small animals is strictly “because I like to” for horses, and in general gives them bad gas as their bodies don’t break the meat/feathers/hair/whatever down—leaving it for less savory microbes to go to work.
Horses are opportunistic omnivores who will gladly chow down on small critters. She might just be pretending not to know what it is for appearance sake.
Two words: Spam musubi

Oh dear innocentBrownie, this is a pic for the ages.Horses like salt a whole lot. Compared to other things she willingly eats, such as wicker furniture and trading cards, Spam would be salty and flavorful. She clearly doesn’t know enough to recognize it as meat, so she would more likely than not be into it.
