"Picky Eater" achievement questions

[Greedy Gnome]

Started playing again after a long while. This achievement was bugged, I think, is it fixed now?
Had to start over because I accidentally selected biomass in the hotbar...

Anyways, I have some questions about this achievement. In order to get it, you have to get to the house warming party without consuming biomass once. Avoiding eating biomass directly is easy enough. But what about food dishes that use biomass? I believe eating a nutritious salad will cause you to fail, but what about bread? And if bread makes you fail, what about dishes that use bread in turn?

What about other plants, do they apply? While I imagine Nightshrooms and blueberries don't, what about lettuce? I've been making Fish steaks when I can, which requires 2 lettuce.

The salad is quite ok. Blueberry jam and roasted mushrooms are completely fine too.

Just don't eat raw biomass [the one that looks like a bunch of leaves]. I recommend making a backup copy of your save so you can easily load a backup in case you accidentally eat raw biomass.

I just did this exact same thing and it's pretty infuriating. I accidentally hit the wrong number and it consumed biomass. A waste of an hour. The game needs save slots instead of just autosaves.

Can confirm that you can safely eat dishes that are made using biomass.
It's only eating raw biomass that's disqualifies you.
I got it by never carrying biomass unless I had to, and never keeping it in my hotbars.

How can one do this? And, how do you load it up if you mess up. I just accidentally ate one. ARRRG! It's stupid how easy it is to whoops on that!

The save file is located at

C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\LocalLow\Mandragora

I simply copied the entire Mandragora directory to a new location from time to time, if I had to go back to an earlier save, I just copied the backup to the original's location.

But turn off cloud saves first for the game if you use this approach

It is quite annoying, yes. Don't ever have biomass on the hotbar.
