Food is anything dwarves eat to ward off starvation. The most common foods are meat, fish, crops, and gathered shrubs. Each dwarf has a preference for certain foods.

Eating

A dwarf with the "Eat" task will pick up a unit of food, often according to his or her dietary preferences, then bring it to an available table or chair for consumption. A private room will normally be chosen over a public room; for this reason, note that a dwarf who owns a table-less office but no dining room will complain about the lack of tables, even if a high-quality public dining room is available. Eating in a high-quality dining room does wonders for a dwarf's mood.

Cooked food

Raw food can be cooked into meals at a kitchen. The wider the variety of ingredients that a meal contains, the greater the number of dwarves who will have a preference for that meal. Additionally, some foods must be cooked before they can be eaten.
