plump helmet spawn, the universal ingredient

Broker: Ah, what's for supper today?

Chef: Plump helmet spawn, sir.

Broker: Have you got anything without spawn it in?

Chef: Well, you could have the plump helmet spawn roast.  

Broker: Oh?  That sounds like it has spawn in it.

Chef: Minced spawn, sir.  The ingredients are minced plump helmet spawn,, well-minced plump helmet spawn, well-minced plump helmet spawn, and minced helmet spawn.

Axewarves: o/' Spawn spawn spawn spawn... o/'

Broker: Don't you have anything else?

Chef: Well, since you asked, there is some well-prepared plump helmet spawn roast.  The ingredients are minced plump helmet spawn, minced plump helmet spawn, finely minced plump helmet spawn, and well-winced plump helmet spawn.  You see, it's the finely minced plump helmet spawn that gives it the --

Axedwarves: Spawn!  Lovely spawn!

This exact joke has been made several times in the past, although never in such detail.

Anyway, more detailed cooking is a future req...  there will actually be a fair amount of work involved in coming up with all the rules and different foods.  So it will have to wait until then.

My fortress currently has over 5000 Dwarven Wine Roast sitting in various food stockpiles.  Made from "mincing" wine, lots of wine.
