Ah, that part completely went over my head, maybe because of what we've seen of Kaneki, I've always though half-ghouls can't eat human food.

But if Eto could eat normal food, then that doesn't explain why her mother had to cannibalise. If her body can process it, then wouldn't it make sense that she could do with the nutrition that normal food offers as well?

Maybe she was just expressing her curiosity when she made that comment about curry? I mean she might not have thought of investigators as humans at all, eating and living like a normal human, considering she's always been hunted by them.

What's actually the difference between artificial and natural half ghouls in terms of biological factors? Yoshimura showed Kaneki that he can "pretend" to eat a sandwhich in front of his friends. Maybe Eto did that to show Kanae as well? I mean, I feel like eating the apple was more of a symbolic meaning in a sense, you know with Adam and Eve plucking the forbidden fruit and eating it. It plays into her "being God" ideology when she was ridiculing Kanae.

Is it that she learned to somehow "manage" the enzymes in her body as well as manipulate her Kakuhou at a deeper level? That might explain why her Kagune is so advance. Maybe ghouls that can detach their Kagunes can also somewhat, to an extent, detach those enzymes from her digestive system? Maybe it takes practice and dedication, which is why she's able to do it, but the other ghouls who could detach their Kagune couldn't because they've never tried?

I feel like this is something Ishida still has to address, or else it might be left a plot hole.
