Gathering food has not been too much of an issue since lettuce leaves are all over the place where I started, but... the lettuce leaves themselves are starting to become a problem since my Elven Adventurer has been feeling grouchy about eating the same meals every day.
I tried picking other leaves—these leaves listed below...
- Apricot Leaves
- Artichoke Leaves
- Asparagus Leaves
- Bilberry Leaves
- Hemp Leaves
- Peach Leaves
- Pecan Leaves
- Purple Amaranth Leaves
- Spelt Leaves
- String Bean Leaves
- Rhubarb Leaves
...but she prefers licking those leaves listed above over eating them, and she does not seem to be able to prepare and create salads under "X" either as she will only practice her threshing instead despite being an 'Adequate Thresher'.
Throughout my many
fruitless searches for ways to obtain food—learned NPCs are okay with Adventurers looting goods that do not have a dollar sign by it which was serendipity, but I am far from modern civilization—as well as what vegetables are and are not edible, I finally found
a thread that covers what vegetation is edible in Adventure Mode for each season; however, it lists leaves under early spring (it is currently the 16th of Granite in my world) that my Elven Adventurer preferred licking.
The thread was made in 2014, so I am not certain if what we are able to consume was changed up to this point in time. Does anyone here know what vegetables can be eaten in Adventure Mode and during what seasons for v0.44.12? I really do not know where else to find this information or... if my files are having some technical difficulties.
(Update #1)I will try to keep an updated list of vegetation that is edible or inedible in Adventure Mode provided by myself and everyone who has commented to share their knowledge:

Inedible
(77)(Update #2)Does race and ethnics have to do with what Adventurers will and will not eat similarly to how it affects NPCs?
Someone from Dwarf Fortress's subreddit told me about how races and ethnics affect certain things in the game and how NPCs behave which reminded me with greater emphasis that Elves greatly respect nature. Does that mean Elves will refuse to eat some or most vegetation?
(Update #3)Even though the topic had been
a bit derailed after Page #3, please do feel free to share your findings regarding edible and inedible vegetation for the lists above. I would greatly appreciate it, so I can update the lists to help other Adventurers out. ❦
