Tallow? Finally! My subjects were starvin'!
BISCUITS FOR EVERYONE!

[Kon]

If my fortress has several dozen or more dwarves they will use soap as fast as I make it (with just one soap workshop). They get happen thoughts from having taken a soapy bath. When the amount of tallow starts getting out of hand, I start cooking it.

[Aspgren]

I sell tallow. or atomsmash it.

My dwarves have no need for hygiene.

edit: or proper meals

[Funk]

a sold loads of the stuff to the elfs, meat too as my fort was hunting at the time.
i wonder if buying an Elephant and cooking it will cover the cost of buying it?

[Sutremaine]

Absolutely. Even food with a 1x value modifier can be cooked and sold back to the caravan for a profit.

Except that elves don't buy meat.. if you take their pets and make biscuits out of them they are going to be offended.

 Yeah I know right? Weird.

Wrong. Though in the past elves would freak out if you offered animal products to them, ever since the DF 2010 update elves will only freak out about wood-based products and are perfectly ok with animal-based things.

Really? Wow I have to admit that they're starting to grow on me then!

just remember that theyre trying to corner the market on wooden crafts, having a wagon full of wooden stuff and then saying cutting trees is a sin...? hypocrite much?

[Poindexterity]

F**k this water in lye bucket bug I can't make soap!

just churn out about 20 buckets and put em in a stockpile near the workshop.
always fixes my issues.

[Deimos56]

I allow my dwarves to cook all the tallow except the dog tallow. The dog tallow is used for soap.

This is notable because I currently am in possession, in my current fort, of over 300 dog tallow. Explosive breeders doesn't even begin to cover it.

[peskyninja]

After a Red dragon attack, a wyvern attack and a FB attack my "Other" food is 5000.

cooks

My cook whose work feeds 85 is free like 51 weeks in the year (or 47 in the DF calendar), so I'm wondering why anyone would ever need more than one.

To answer the OP's question: after a while I dump most of it. And this is despite making soap every once in a while.
