I don't know if this should count as a bug, but...

I think that craftsdwarves tantruming if their masterpieces get destroyed is a cool idea, but as it stands right now, cooks will throw tantrums if their masterpiece meals are eaten, which seems a little bit counterproductive IMHO. My high-skilled chef is pretty much in constant tantrums nowadays as she produces a lot of masterpiece meals, and gets very upset when they inevitably get eaten...

Then again, cooks CAN be tempermental...

[Disruptive Idiot]

Cooks should become ecstatic when dwarves eat their meals and are satisfied by them =P

Did you get a masterpiece destroyed message?  Eating specifically sends a "do not trigger insanity" variable to the item destroyer, and it works as far as I've seen.

[Masakado]

Yes, I did get that message, twice. Since the only masterpieces she made were food, I just assumed that they were eaten. However now that I think about it, they may have gone rotten and been chasmed...

[Psitticine]

Now that'd upset me: "I made you a true masterpiece of a meal . . . and you let it ROT!"

I think the missing part will be put in place there when the dwarves are preferring meals to raw food and weighing meal quality to determine which one of those is most tempting.  (Last time I checked, they were still going for the raw stuff, but I could be wrong.)

I've had more food going rotten the last time I played.  Maybe its the new job tasking, which is good for efficiency everywhere else but not very good for food quality!  I shed a tear when my exceptional cave crocodile roast rotted.

[Masakado]

Just a follow-up, but after some more testing I confirmed the cooks are going nuts because of their masterworks going rotten, not being eaten.

Still, I think it would be nice to have some sort of fix for this--either not counting rotting masterworks as art defacement, not having them rot in the first place, or giving masterwork food top priority for storage in barrels. If you have a full-time high-skilled cooks, you tend to churn out masterwork meals faster than you can barrel them, especially when you've got a large-scale farming operation underway. Even with half a dozen dedicated food haulers I've found it tough to keep my cooks from tantruming.
