So what do your dwarves eat?

I look through my stocks and I find that most of my meals sound ... disgusting. They are basically: Biscuits made out of cat, biscuits made out of seeds, roasted berries and roasted seeds.

No wonder they drink such large quantities of sewer brew.

my dwarves eat mainly plump helmet and meat with assorted tallow biscuits

[Lord_Shadow]

plump helments the food of the gods, or fortress managers that are to lazy to grow other foods.

[Airpi]

I diversify. Fish, game, farming. Turtles and plump helmets stay raw, everything else gets processed until I've got stockpiles of groundhog-and-syrup roasts. I usually buy up any exotic meats and cheeses from caravans, so that gets thrown into the mix too. I used to cook the booze, but I gave it up.

[kotekzot]

pretty much everything. i've got some fishing action going on but usually can't be bothered issuing an order to process it. (we really need an auto order for that). a large farm that pumps out more resources than i can process.  i do a fair bit of trading for meat and cheese and sometimes make my own. also a bit of animals killed during sieges and stuff.

[Porpoisepower]

I generally have 3 5x5 farms.
Farm 1 Plump Helmet's
Farm 2 Cave Wheat
Farm 3 Dimple Cup/Pigtails

Plus I generally slaughter any extra livestock I've got and will regularly cook anything that doesn't have a shell.  I've made a couple attempts to make goblins Edible, but so far no luck.

My farming operation consists of 2 5x5 farms. One grows plump helmets all year round, the other grows sweet pods, pig tails, quarry bushes, and, later on, dimple cups. From these (not the dimple cups, obviously), I brew drinks and cook them. This, along with puppy and kitten meat, provides the basic diet for my dwarves.
However, after the first year or so, my kitchens are churning out more high-quality foods than my dwarves can eat. Delicious masterful roasts are worth several thousand dorfbux, so I sell them to the caravans, in return for all their meat, plants, drinks and seeds. With these, I cook even more delicious roasts, meaning my dwarves can eat delicacies from all over the world, as well as netting a huge profit for my fortress.

[Skorpion]

Various kinds of meat, fish, and tallow, two kinds of seeds, and quarry bush leaves.

Hell, I just found a stack of meals made from fox tallow, one-humped camel tallow, horse tallow, and horse tallow. Another of two-humped camel tallow and quarry bush leaves.

And a particularly fancy roast made of carp meat, jaguar meat, groundhog tallow, and muskox tallow.

EDIT:
Mind, I just don't cook any plants that I grow. At all. I have 200 dorfs, I can't afford to lose the booze production.

[Duke 2.0]

 Heaps and heaps of Longland Flour biscuits.

 Of course I have humans, but that is basically all they eat.

[DennyTom]

First one, two, max. three years my dwarves eat helmets and only helmets.

Later I try to give them something to choose from - I buy lots of meat from traders and grow everything I can.



Hm ... I think I have dwarven diet last days. I drink lots of booze, eat what I find, work like crazy and wish I could look at some nice waterfall ...

[Creamcorn]

I use the Things you eat mod in every fortress, I once had my dwarfs eatting Yetti burgers.

[Obsidian]

Mostly quarry bush, meat, and tallow roasts.

Om nom nom.

You guys all cook your tallow? I find it a pretty scarce resource for soap...
