Gilda stole and ate an apple, though, so they’re at least omnivorous, which is in the diet of neither of the animals she’s composed of.
 
 
@QueenCold  
Yep! Worms to birds and fish to ferrets. I think fish are non-sapient in Equestria, whereas most animals are. Worms are fairly safe to assume as non-sapient, as well.
 
In “Cutie Mark Chronicles,” when Flutters comforts animals to earn her mark, she doesn’t even address any fish - she sticks her head in the pond and only frogs respond, indicating that fish probably aren’t sapient like the other animals are.
 

 
Referring back to BGP#A85D, that’s my bet on griffons: fruit and fish. Eagles eat a lot of fish, iirc, especially in Alaska.

Pinkie Pie: “Happy Thanksgiving everyone!”  
Twilight: “Is that what I think it is!?!”  
Rainbow Dash: “Is that bird really dead?”  
Applejack: “Oh the poor thing. Why Pinkie Pie?”  
Rarity: “I think I’m going to be sick.”  
Fluttershy: [Faints]  
Spike: “Oh boy, Turkey!”

Spike is not the first dragon to be depicted eating precious stone or metal.  
As for the show ever addressing that he eats meat. They sort of already did that with Spike eating worms. I know that’s not quite what we’re talking about here, but I still don’t think it would be as big a deal as people think. Remember, some of the mane six keep carnivorous animals as pets and we’ve seen Fluttershy feed animals other animals on screen.

@Background Pony #C8B7  
Doesn’t that mean he’s not a carnivore then? It’s not like dragons are real or anything.
 
Though we got a case to discuss ponies’ reactions to the Griffon diet what with being a creature made up of two meat eatering animals. So I guess it would be logicalest to use a Griffon for that sort of story.

“Burn it! Burn it with fire before it lays eggs!”
 
“It’s too late!”
 
“Then burn the eggs, too!”

@PonyPon  
Too soon, man. Too soon.

Pass the mayo.
 
Made from it’s eggs.

They must truss up turkeys for… Other reasons…
 
Yeah, I dunno.

Even though I know there’s 0% chances of it happening, I’d love if they addresed the fact that Spike’s a carnivore living among herbivores. Though I think they probably made up the whole gem thing precisely to avoid that topic.

Mmmm, looks delicious.

They thought they were in trouble for stealing Philomena the first time…

“Philomena, noooo!”

Out of the way, lower life forms, I won’t let you waste a perfectly delicious turkey!

I love the happiness on Pinkie’s face!

What’s Applejack so surprised for? She’s the one who’s casually mentioned trussing up turkeys!

Poor Flutters is completely mortified and Rarity’s like:  
“I need to go throw up.”

SCOOTALOO!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
 

 

 

 

 
_{Eh, bet that’s a tofu turkey, anyway.}

Who would eat a Bird’s Fried Corpse? What kind of Dinner is This?!

At least Spike’s having a good time.

That is a terrifying cake, Pinkie.
