Centaurs are traditionally regarded as hunters.
You can't hunt an onion or a potato...
...logic expects me to believe that they're either fully carnivorous or at the very least omnivorous.

Hmn, I see your logic there. I know that Greek mythology did paint them as civilized races that mingled with humanity, and being fond of drinking and parties, so one would assume they had an omnivorous nature, akin to early hunter/gatherer societies. Still, the fact that it is pure carnivorous kinda irks me, as they are not designed with carnivore nature in mind. As I said, a hunter/gatherer omnivore sounds more feasible.

I also in part kinda wish that more folks in general described more on the variety that centaurs, and more specifically, the female 'Kentaurides' came in.

Philostratus the Elder, Imagines 2, Part 3 wrote: How beautiful the female centaurs are, even where they are horses; for some grow out of white mares, others are attached to chestnut mares, and the coat’s of others are dappled, but they glisten like those of horses that are well cared for. There is also a white female centaur that grows out of a black mare, and the very opposition of the colours helps to produce the united beauty of the whole.
