This article is about an older version of DF.

Food is anything Template:L eat to ward off starvation, but if they are not able to attain sustenance then they will get hungry, have bad thoughts, and eventually die. Common foods are Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, and Template:L.

Eating good food will make your dwarves happy, so a good Template:L is an excellent investment. Also, each dwarf has a Template:L for certain foods.

Sources

The possible sources of food are Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, Template:L, and Template:L. Farming is by far the most reliable.

Processes

Some food is inedible raw, and needs processing first. For example:

Unprocessed food and non-food Template:L will be stored in a food stockpile and take up barrel space; the Template:L can tell you how much of each type of "food" you have in the Template:L screen.
