In my current DF2010 fortress I have one dwarf who like warthog hooves, and another who likes groundhog bone.  There should be some way to limit which material templates and/or tissues templates can show up in a dwarf's preferences.  Like a [PREFABLE] tag which could be added to the skin, horn and ivory templates, so that dwarfs can prefer various kinds of leather (as before), plus things like cow horns and elephant ivory, but not things like naked mole dog spleens.

Is it possible there already is such a limitation built in to what materials are acceptable for a given category? We don't get dwarves who prefer to consume warthog bones, for instance (that I know of), so it seems likely that material preferences would be restricted to materials that can actually be built with.

I do think a [PREFABLE] tag could be handy regardless, but do we have any examples showing it's necessary?

I just think that things like "warthog hooves" and "groundhog bones" is too specific a preference.

I don't think it's necessary, since they have so many favourites, but a dwarf with very specific tastes ought to get more happiness mileage out of it. A dwarf that likes groundhog meat would be happy with a meal that contains any groundhog meat, but a dwarf that likes groundhog spleen would be ecstatic with a meal containing that specifically.
