I had an idea a while back about raw eggs giving dwarves salmonella poisoning. They could have -say- a 50/50 chance of getting it from raw eggs. To solve this problem, the eggs could be cooked in the Kitchen.
This would probably make the poultry industry harder to manage, though...
I just thought i'd throw that out there.

You already have to cook the raw eggs. At least I haven't noticed any dwarves munching the eggs before my cook gets to them.

You can't eat raw eggs.

Problem solved

[GiglameshDespair]

Which is odd, because people did and still do eat raw eggs. Considering dwarves, you wouldn't think they would be very fussy as to that regard.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Figure out some way to code in realistic discouragement against eating raw eggs, then make dwarves not eat sickness-inducing eggs when plump helmets are around, and sure.

[Owlbread]

Perhaps Dwarves should only seek to eat raw eggs when confronted with ravenous hunger, a bit like when they hunt for small creatures when starving.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Sensible.

You can't eat raw eggs.

If you make a creature lay eggs where at least one of the egg materials is edible raw, then dwarves will eat the eggs raw. Or at least they should, according to disassembly.

...Huh.
Well, eggs aren't like that in vanilla.

I'm pretty sure I've seen dwarves eat raw eggs. There is no reason why they wouldn't: people still do and dwarves aren't exactly fussy in what they stick in their gob.

[Vercingetorix]

Well, contemporarily speaking only roughly 1 in 500 raw eggs have any kind of salmonella contamination...it'd probably be even lower historically as poultry/egg production was small scale and chances for contamination more limited.

I think dwarves have more to worry about chowing down on raw tripe/intestines...but then again they drink so much alcohol, it probabably keeps them healthy (much like how it can help to prevent food poisoning IRL).
