And how are my dwarves getting it from butchering puppies?

Sweetbread is the glandular tissues from the neck area.

Much like veal, "neck glands" just doesn't sound that tasty...

This is why I always dump sweetbreads (and intestines... and brains.. etc) if I see them in my food stockpiles.  Or I sell them to the elves, if I want to take their wood before I cover them in magma.  If I forget about it then inevitably some idiot dwarf cook will make a strawberry stew with dwarven syrup and crundle intestines.

Is it possible to edit the raw files so they never get produced by a butcher?

Each animal has components that say what they get butchered into. I'm sure you could take the organs out....

At a guess just ditch "Organs" and "Guts". Be careful doing it on animals you attack though, as I believe that it might make it harder to kill (by not having as many "Vital organs" to hit)

Hey some of that stuff can be pretty good!

"Intestines" are just sausages in my opinion. Liver's nice with onions, and who'd turn down a steak and kidney pie?

The eyes are the only thing that gets me about dwarven cooking really. Forgotten beast eye roast, just no.

Few things really get you anymore after you've realized what eggs really are, and you never quite knew what was in your favourite fast food's burgers to begin with.

This is a masterful beef taco by Taco Bell.  It is made from minced textured vegetable protein, finely minced oats, minced high fructose corn syrup, and minuscule amounts of finely minced beef.

I'd like to be able to cook the stuff into Pölsa. It's essentially like Haggis, but 'tis more delicious.

It isn't a new Dwarf Fortress version until we're made to fear some kind of regular creature.  Carp, Elephants, Unicorns, Badgers, and now Mosquitos.  I've got 5 dorfBucks on the next one being plagues of groundhogs.

They're dwarfs. They don't use the toilet, clean pools of blood and vomit or change their clothes until ordered to. Of course they don't flinch at eating eyes or intestines, in fact they're almost Scottish.
