Slurry is a material used in paper making. Slurry is created at a mill or quern from cloth plants and pressed into paper at a screw press. This also creates seeds.

The labor associated with making slurries is papermaking, under crafts - not milling, as one might expect from the building.

Slurry is considered to be a glob in the Stocks menu.

Oddly enough, despite not being food, slurries are stored in the food stockpile as a paste.

Dripping slurry.

Bugs

Slurry stored on the floor in food stockpile (not in a barrel/pot) will trigger a Clean job, resulting in the glob being destroyed.^Bug:9884 As a work-around, one can use the custom stockpile feature to disable paste from being stored in food stockpiles, and the slurry will remain safely in the quern/millstone until need at a screw press.
