Hey, I've been trying to get my now-legendary+5 cook to food with something else than 4 different meats from the same animal (only 1 happy thought target) or 4 different seeds or 4 different tallows or cheeses or... you get the idea.

So, I went with the wiki's suggestions of having 1-tile barrel-less feeder stockpiles that take from my general "raw food" stockpile and give to the kitchen. But now the feeder's don't seem to get filled at all. I've got several dwarves with no job and all hauling labors on, no civilian burrow alert set. Also, when they still were filled, the cook of course works through them really quickly, in 2-3 meals (I have separate stockpiles for meat, fish, cheese, eggs, raw plants, flours/sugar, quarry bush leaves/press cakes, syrup/oil with barrels, and tallow). So, any tips/what else am I doing wrong?

Optionally, I am using dfhack workflow, and a google search did turn up some suggestion on using that to achieve this. Is it?

dwarfs are reluctant to take stuff out of barrels as far as I'm aware. Otherwise other mechanics may be at work, but I don't usually bother with this level of micromanagement
