Lutefisk sounds awful. 

Why is it not in dwarf fortress?

It doesn't sound that bad.  It is only fish soaked in lye, like olives.  Thems are inedible until soaked in lye.

Only vaguely. Made of the same substance and put to the same use, but a bit like comparing a castle and a doublewide trailer.

Conversely, lutefisk is soaked in lye until inedible.

Theres most likely a way to mod it in as fish cheese....

Well, now I need to use the phrase "fish cheese" in an otherwise coherent sentence sometime in the next week.

No one vouched for it during the animal drive.

Hehehe..... oh, thank-you boys for starting my day with a great laugh.

I think for Christmas Toadyone should add Raindeermen and have them make little tribes with a passion for toy making in their blood.

You wouldn't rush Goya or Faulkner or Tarantino. Think about Toady as equal to those artists. And then deal with it.

Wait, honey bee venom-coated blowdarts? Does this mean applying poison to weapons is now possible via interactions?

I can just imagine a crowd of swallowmen (are they safe to use blowdarts?) hanging out behind the grill of a sewer opening waiting for somebody with a bee-sting allergy to walk past.

No, it's something the animalmen are supposed to be doing already (I haven't seen any for quite a while, so I can't say whether they actually do).

Id say that perhaps animalmen should judge the severity of poisons before they coat their weapons in it... But then again Bee venom is quite deadly when you get around 500 doses... then again poisons in Dwarf fortress don't respect dose amount when it comes to symptoms.

In otherwords I am confused.

As for why people may tollerate deadly animalmen in their sewers. There can be many reasons for this.
1) They keep the rat population low
2) They don't bother anyone who doesn't go down while maintaining the sewers
3) They are more dangerous then the town can muster a force to deal with.

4) Maybe for the same reason there are trolls under the bridge?

It's a reference to the lutefisk mentioned the day before.

Lutfisk is made by soaking fish in lye (for the point of conservation) to the point it is poisonous and needs to be washed before you can eat it. Traditional Nordic dish. Lut translates directly into lye.

Very dwarfy.
