The answer is very likely 'not', and the reason would also very likely have to do with the fact that, currently, pica is not supported as a feature of the game, nor are its consequences (in future, you can eat whatever you like, but you'll catch loads of diseases and get sick by doing so).

Does that mean the list of likes and dislikes for dwarves are going to be involved?

"Urist Dertsnaks has been quite content lately.
Urist Dertsnaks likes the color clear, coins for their flavor, clay, sand, gabbro, green glass, and bronze all for their taste, tentacle demons for their delicious lingering bouquet, and rocks, yep, for their taste.
He is often very quiet.  He is often eating.  He prefers non-food items.  He dislikes utensils.  He detests purring maggots, but eats them anyways.  He enjoys eating outdoors, and only grumbles mildly at inclement weather."
