Looking at my dwarves' recent cuisine, since I moved the fat storage over to the soapmaking department, far from the actual food prep kitchen.
Blue peahen egg roast [40]
An omelet consisting of 1 serving peahen eggs, two servings turkey eggs, and a serving of yeric wyvern meat. Okay, sounds edible, and probably pretty damn good if you like omelets.
+Feral sergal meat roast [77]+
A meaty dish composed of two servings feral sergal meat, one serving turkey hen eggs, and one serving of dwarven syrup. I imagine something like Southern Asian meat preparation, with some form of sauce applied to the meat composed of syrup and eggs. Which sounds delicious, honestly.
☼Fisher berry roast [10]☼ by Nomal Arroslibash.
A dish composed of three servings fisher berries and one serving prepared lesser dragon eye. I don't know how one could fry berries and eyes, and make something that's still edible. Maybe a sort of jam or jelly, or like those disgusting hunks of cranberry sauce your parents used to have during holiday meals?
-prepared water buffalo eye roast [5]-
A dish composed of water buffalo brains, llama liver, water buffalo heart, and water buffalo eye. Sounds like the highschool biology lab more than lunch. Although, there wasn't much difference between the lab and the cafeteria. And it all ended up in the bathroom sink...
*prepared alpaca brain roast [5]*
Kiwi tallow, alpaca tripe, alpaca kidney, and alpaca brain. First instance of fat being used in the preparation of a meal.
☼prepared yeric wyvern intestine roast [8]☼
Yeric wyvern and lesser dragon intestines, yeric wyvern tripe, and fisher berries. If you wanted to eat this, you might as well go gnaw on a dragon's ass and save the cook/butcher some time.
-valley herb roast [12]-
A food consisting of equal parts dwarven sugar, valley herb, rat weed, and muck root. It could be a form of sweet, flavorful bisquit, and probably isn't that repulsive.
*Prickle berry roast [4]*
Sun berries, prickle berries, dwarven wheat flour, and plump helmet. This could actually be a berry muffin.
I'm impressed with the cooks, for once. Not EVERYTHING they made is completely ridiculous and practically inedible.
My broker also successfully traded with the human caravan. I'm glad I repalced the expedition leader with this guy; he's the first one to actually TRADE for something at a reasonable price.
Militarily, the fortress is fairly secure. Nothing interesting has happened.
One of the idiot miners just chose to stand on top of the tile she was channeling out, when there was a staircase right next to her with safer access.
She plumbetted to her death amongst a heap of rotten animals' body parts, among other things. A grand 27 z-level fall onto the floor of the third cavern.
Now her body is splattered all over the place.
I hope she wasn't married... Unfortunately, she was married. Fortunately, her husband never arrived and they had no children. Her only other relatives in the fortress were her cousin and uncle, who don't seem to give a damn.
Some hunters are killing dralthas in the caverns. One of them a gremlin child. So, what do they do when their prey passes out from pain? Stand right on top of it and shoot straight down. Does that work? No, it wakes up and starts crawling away, before bleeding to death, or whatever.
