it doesn’t really go into what he eats but he doesn’t need to eat
one thing that is often misunderstood is how smart and cunning the monster is. And he only really harms people in relation to punishing Dr. Frankenstien
While speaking to Frankenstein, he tells him, “My food is not that of man; I do not destroy the lamb and the kid to glut my appetite; acorns and berries afford me sufficient nourishment…The picture I present to you is peaceful and human.”
so yeah, I forgot that part. My copy is a 1963 paperback. It has a beautiful image on the cover but its starting to fall part, the cover has come apart from the seam. Its been a few years since I have read it but it is one of those books that stays with you, for sure!

The 1818 edition specifically says he eats berries & plants that he forages, & avoids eating meat

So technically vegan in that he doesn’t eat meat (or veggies for that matter).
He’s a level 7 vegan in that he doesn’t eat anything that casts a shadow.
That’s gotta get you those cool vegan powers, right?
So only stuff grown in total darkness?
Like in the famous cookbook, Artichoke Heart of Darkness
Thought that was level 5. Level 6 excludes anything upon which a shadow may be cast, not sure what comes after that.
