Blood sausage is nice! So is black pudding.

My grandmother used to make it out of chicken blood. I didn't know it was blood back then... thought it was berries or something.

[Aqizzar]

Berries that taste like bologna and copper?

Who else is going to mod in berries filled with blood? I can't be the only one.

RE: Iron Men and Collossi--Shouldn't the joints of the iron man be somewhat weaker than the rest? Or is this a solid statue that is somehow bending to move around?

As for Collossi, no statue that big has ever been solid through and through. The statue of Liberty and the Colossus of Rhodes were both a metal skin with metal framework (and stone feet, in the case of the Colossus). Obviously that doesn't mean you COULDN'T build a solid bronze statue a hundred feet tall, I'm just curious as to how they're going to work.

Yeah, back on the topic of edible organs -- I imagine there'll be butchering-related tags for tissues -- this tissue returns meat, this one returns fat, etc.  Or maybe butchering will have a hardcoded link to to the predefined tissue types or something.

I give you the less disgusting blood sausage:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Made of pork blood, less quality meat and groats. Tastes delicious.

Hehe, yeah we have this here, in Hungary also. It's called "véres hurka".

 Another possibility:
 Dwarven Haggis. Made from Sheep liver, heart and lungs inside sheep intestine.

What kind of dwarf uses sheep?

It would be carp liver, heart and lungs inside carp intestine inside giant cave spider liver, heart and lungs inside giant cave spider intestine inside kitten liver, heart and lungs inside kitten intestine.

A carspidten?  But that's only on feast days.

Yeah, the day you kill and butcher a carp, you must have a feast.  A feast for / with a most worthy enemy!

[PTTG??]

Deliciousness is a relitive term; Just as much as Blood sausage is palatable to some, there are those that enjoy the Durian Fruit- that is, a specific plant product that smells worse than any other edible thing, and most non-edible things. One must eat it from the day you are born, otherwise you will never appreciate it's delicious flavour. There are some very brave Western eaters, who do not quail before the Eel & Dog Eye-ce cream special or the goat hoof pancake, who cannot eat a durian. Even more facinating than that, though, is that some people enjoy McDonalds food.

On to other topics, a conversation I had with Tahin:
Me: "What is the dwarven word for Computer?"
Tahin: "I don't know... 'Big pointless thing we throw nobles in to kill them or which malfunctions and destroys the fortress?'"
Me: "That's the dwarven word for everything!"

[Dareon Clearwater]

Goat hoof pancake?  I mean, I can kinda see the procedure (Please tell me it involves boiling the hoof down to gelatin), and the purpose is obvious, but still, that's a very odd food there.

Probably the oddest thing I've eaten is Eskimo ice cream.  Which can theoretically be made in Dwarf Fortress.

This is a stack of 12 well-crafted whale tallow stew.  The ingredients are well-minced whale tallow, minced wild strawberries, and minced prickle berries.

For your information, it was enjoyable.

[Neonivek]

Wow 1300 DOOLAROOS!!! That is low but I wonder what the lowest ever was.

Well we probably should rename the Future of the Fortress to "Uhhh maybe of the fortress"

Just joking of course, no use jumping off the wagon just because there is a stone in the road.

[Mephansteras]

That reminds me, I'm going to donate again this month. Toady needs a good December!
