This amulet allows its wearer to eat fresh raw meat when not hungry, and drastically increases nutrition you can get from them. These effects on the wearer's digestion are cumulative over time and are initially small.

An amulet of the gourmand lets you consume meat like a Carnivore without reducing your ability to consume vegetarian fare, but functions fully only after some time has passed. If you eat meat while the amulet is still attuning itself to you, you will only gain partial nutrition from any chunks you eat while above "Hungry" level. The activation time is approximately 400 turns, and you can determine how close you are to fully active by eating a chunk: the more enthusiastic the message you receive, the closer the amulet is to being fully active.

Species-Specific Mechanicss

If you are a ghoul, it will instead allow you to treat any chunks you eat as though they were rotting ones, making them significantly better for you.

It will not grant the ability to eat meat to spriggans, vampires, mummies, or anyone with three ranks of the Herbivore mutation. As trolls already have the gourmand mutation, they will also receive no benefit from the amulet.

History

Prior to 0.15, wearing an amulet of the Gourmand also allowed you to consume contaminated chunks as though they were clean.
