'''Flour''' is an ingredient in [[cooking]], made by [[milling]] one of the three available [[Plant|grains]] ([[cave wheat]], [[longland grass]] and [[whip vine]]) at a [[millstone]] or [[quern]]. Milling involves grinding the grains beneath the wheel, rendering it from an inedible plant to an edible [[powder]] suitable for cooking. Milling plants needs one [[bag]] for every job, and one plant will be processed to make one bag of flour. Flour in [[bag]]s or [[barrel|mill barrels]] do not [[Wear|wither]] like crops, and possess an indefinite shelf life if kept free of [[vermin]]. It is also a very efficient use of space, since a single barrel can store up to ten bags of flour. Given these attributes, flour serves as an excellent foodstuff. A relatively small [[stockpile]] can sustain a number of dwarves during a [[siege]] or the first few months of a new outpost. | '''Flour''' is an ingredient in [[cooking]], made by [[milling]] one of the three available [[Plant|grains]] ([[cave wheat]], [[longland grass]] and [[whip vine]]) at a [[millstone]] or [[quern]].

No self-respecting dwarf (even when motivated by starvation) will lower themselves to eating what promised to be perfectly good beer. Many cunning chefs in the mountainhomes have, however, been known to serve a meal made entirely of the stuff to both haulers and nobles alike, claiming it to be 'masterfully ground' cave wheat. Elven and human traders are similarly duped much to the pleasure of the kitchen staff. | No self-respecting dwarf (even when motivated by starvation) will lower themselves to eating what promised to be perfectly good beer.
