Seriously.  I have waaaaaay too much meat in this fortress.  I have 15 dwarves, no immigration, and here is the stockpile of meat:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm not even trying to get more meat.  Every time I activate the military to deal with a threat, they usually go kill some wildlife while they're at it.  In this region that usually means elephants.  At least I don't have whales. 

Anyone else swimming in animal products?

at least you have meat, I've played like 10 fortresses and they never seem to have any wildlife so my dwarves eat nothing but mushrooms, though I've had like 4000 plump helmets before.

Encrust it with gems and sell it!

Hi!

Encrust it with gems and sell it!

IIRC, right in the middle of the financial crisis, they were selling gold plated steaks at Wall Street for normal consumption.

Is that gold plated as in put on top of a plate made of gold, or gold plated as in coated in gold.

Because that's just weird to eat off a golden plate! Everybody knows food looks better on white.

[Deathworks]

Hi!

Coated in gold. So you literally ATE the stuff!

I don't think, though, that you can mod this in with just changing the raws (^_^;;

It's totally safe to eat gold, which is kind of neat.

Well, it might be possible to mod in edible gold leaf In real life the stuff's extremely expensive, and apparently very fiddly to work with as well. No idea what it tastes like, though

[Max White]

I guess it would be like

YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Not really. ther's this alcohol with gold bits floating in it, called Goldwasser IIRC, and apparent'y it's not that expensive. A normal guy could buy one.

There's also a restaurant that sells a desert involving ice cream, chocolate, and flakes of gold... of course, that desert is very expensive (the restaurant in question was, IIRC, pretty high class...)

What a waste of gold. Its not as though gold is a renewable resource.

[lordnincompoop]

Well, since it's inert, you'd excrete it eventually and it would be deposited back into the world.

[Max White]

Solar isn't renewable either.

Not unless the number of elves we fire into the sun increases dramatically.

No it isn't. You can even get the so called noble gases to react with each other and other compounds in the right circumstances.

Wikipedia actually had a good quote that I'll give you:

Chemically, it is unaffected by air, moisture  and most corrosive reagents, and is therefore well suited for use in coins and jewelry and as a protective coating on other, more reactive, metals. However, it is not chemically inert.
