Idea: You can use chunks to make broth for soups. Then you get a dried chunk that can be used to make gruel. Dwarves hate eating gruel and will get negative thoughts. If you are starving, then a civilization may bring dried chunks for free. Broth could also be made better by mixing alcohol. Plants could also be used to make broth.

Or use them to make "exotic" dishes for the nobles.

It would be good if broth was served to sick, injured, or otherwise bedridden dwarves.

I'd like to use them to bait animal traps.

I'd like to use them to bait animal traps.

Yes please!
I like this.  I don't support using it in broth's or stews.  They are chunks of things like fat and organs.  Mostly untasty bits, although I understand that some peoples have eaten these things.

One word:  sausages.

[Mount]

our sausages are almost 100% rectum-free!

One word:  sausages.

Needs to be implemented for disposal of decayed clothing.

Broth should really be made with bones, ideally with little tags of meat still on them.

This would require bones as they currently are to be divided into 'fresh' and 'cleaned' bones, with only the clean ones being really suitable for crafting.

And I really, really like the idea of chunks becoming sausage. It's practical and authentic! Really, the only bits of an animal that would go to waste in cultures where hunting was the main method of subsistence would have been the pee poo (wrong vowel, thanks for pointing that out.) still in the intestines. And not even that, sometimes, depending on their tanning methods.

You mean crap.  Pee is in the bladder and associated tubes.

Stew, from bones.  +1.
Chunks and old clothing --> sausage.  +1.
Clean bones /R.  +1.

 And note verious organs are full of nutrition, and some are considered delicacies.

 You have not lived until you have eaten a heart.

Well, whatever can't be eaten could always be thrown into some aerated compost creating apparatus for the works to make into soil.

On a tangent, ligaments and tendons and various tough muscles could be made into rope or string or twine.  Intestines were often used for this purpose as well.  Bowstrings, instrument strings, and other high tension applications could use animal fibers.

Cooking chunks (and sausage in particular) has been brought up at least a couple times:

Mmmm...I always get the turkey heart, every Thanksgiving.

Poultry livers are also really good. Infact, I like the livers even better than the hearts.
Stir fried for just a few minutes, with some sliced onions and green peppers-maybe a pinch or two of good Hungarian paprika at the end-then finished with just a dash of light cream and some fresh cracked black pepper, and served with toast and plenty of sea salt on the side.
