Hi, quick question. Is there a tag for creatures or civs that allows the creatures to eat raw fish or raw meat? I was thinking of trying an ultra-primative challenge game (no buildings allowed, at least initially), but since I doubt I could feed a fort with just prickle berries I want to let them bypass the usual cooking requirements.

The only thing similar I've seen when looking on the wiki is [BONECARN], but from the description I'm not sure if it actually counts as food when a creature eats it. (It also would be odd to make a refuse pile for the purpose of letting meaty corpses rot into tasty edible bones.) Does anyone know if there is a better tag that I'm overlooking?

I added that once on a lark, it didnt seem to change much except my bone carver had nothing to do and one of my farmers choked on a bone. I think, it was confusing.

Technically they'll already eat raw meat, just not unbutchered carcasses. It seems to me that you're going to have to allow yourself at least one workshop, I can't imagine how you'll survive otherwise.

Even then I doubt you can kill enough animals to support an entire fortress, unless you brought a lot of tame ones with you...

Yeah, I was hoping I could start with nothing but seven spears and use the only wood I get from the wagon for a trade depot, but I guess that wouldn't work. I suppose I can build and deconstruct buildings as I need them.
