And fuck feet, if the resultant combat is weighed in 

[Amperzand]

God I hate feet. Damn useless fifth toes, always getting in the way, making the bottoms of my legs look silly!

[pikachu17]

To answer all those burning, essential questions; like 'How many knife-armed gibbon men does it take to defeat an armored zombie whale'.

Why oh why do world-generated soldiers have such a disdain for gauntlets and boots?

why do my dwarves walk to that river to drink, when I have a perfectly good well with stagnant water?

[martinuzz]

WTF. I just spotted a lavish meal made out of 5 ingredients:
masterfully minced quinoa flour, superiorly minced dwarven syrup, masterfully minced dwarven syrup, exceptionally minced kaniwa flour and finely minced dwarven sugar.

Now I know there is or was a bug with flour in barrels, but that's not it, because I am not using any barrels or bins in my fort's stockpiles at all, except for booze and plant extracts like syrup, which come produced in barrels.

I am using a (specialized) single tile quantum dump, which does not accept or hold barrels, for edible mill products, and a non quantum dump, normal stockpile for dwarven syrup.
How the hell did that fifth ingredient sneak in? I never fiddled with the kitchen screen during cooking either.

[TheBiggerFish]

It's a honey cake!

[flabort]

Do you make both lavish meals and basic (2 ingredient) meals?
Because it sounds like the bug where the cook takes an already cooked meal such as a biscuit made of dwarven sugar and kaniwa flower, and use it as an ingredient, resulting in a meal with too many ingredients.

[Rose]

I've had a meal made from like hundreds of ingredients once.

[FallacyofUrist]

Sounds like desert.

[EBannion]

Fuck it, just mince everything in the kitchen and throw it in the pot. Call it a 'roast'. No one up there will notice the difference, they're so drunk they'd eat dirt. Or clay.

[Knit tie]

Speaking of cooking, why do dwarves think that mixing everything with tallow results in an edible dish?

[Insert_Gnome_Here]

Well they're often interpreted to be Scottish, so they're obviously deep-frying everything.

[EBannion]

Hey, birds eat suet.

[Saiko Kila]

Speaking of cooking, why do dwarves think that mixing everything with tallow results in an edible dish?

Because it does? If you are on ketogenic or paleo diet, then this is normal. The dwarves apparently are not on such diets as a race, because they eat things like cereals and sugars, but individuals can be. Dwarven cooks, as social creatures, cater to such members.

[EBannion]

"Dwarven paleo diet"

That's a hilarious thought in context, given that the world my forts are in is usually only 250 years old. 'Paleo' would be, what, years 0-5? <grin>
