Did you ever notice how dwarven chefs are able to make biscuts out of anything edible? Most of them don't fit either culinary definition (British or American) of what a biscut is. I've recently taken to imagining biscuts as Hot Pockets, with the bread pocket instead made from pressed bits of kitchen detritus, held together with either dirt or ultrafine gravel depending on where the kitchen is built. How do you percieve dwarven foods?

You know those Cookies with the Red gooey stuff in the middle?

I picture those as the Dwarven Biscuits... They simply have their ingrediant on top or in the center

[Areyar]

I see it as dehydrated nutritious food baked into various funny shapes, such as small bones and squares.
In short: 'dwarf biscuts'.

[Erk]

I like the idea of powdered stone being included as a thickening agent. I just assumed they made a kind of gruel of ground/chopped meat, mixed it with water, and cooked it into a hard patty thing. With meat, that would resemble a japanese Okonomiyaki a little, although sans-egg, or maybe with the fat from the meat it would be more like pemmican. Adding some rock dust to the mix seems very dwarven.

Course I would prefer it if meat-based "biscuits" got the name "jerky" instead, and some similar shifts in nomenclature.

Humans add rock dust to their food. It's called salt.

I want Pie, gimme pie!

Humans add rock dust to their food. It's called salt.

That is the hilarious thought of the day.

[Tahin]

Dwarves add crushed diamonds for flavor.

[Sheezy]

I always thought the dwarves hyperdehydrated it and then ground it up, and used the dust as flour.

[GetAssista]

It does not explain booze bisquits

[Deon]

Why not, you can always dehydrate alcohol and cook something from the remaining mass.
However this is a huge waste for a dwarf I assume.

[Tahin]

How is that a huge waste? I mean, it's solid booze! Awesome!

[Keiseth]

How is that a huge waste? I mean, it's solid booze! Awesome!

Time spent making the booze solid is time spent not consuming the booze.

[Dr. Melon]

But the thing is; you're left with PURE HARDCORE ALCOHOL.

[Sean Mirrsen]

I seem to recall that solidified freeze-dried alcohol is about as unstable (if a tad less destructive) as nitroglycerine. Hm, I guess if a dwarf can beat steel into shape with his hands, he can stomach some explosives as well.
