Yeah, it's a bug. I've had this happen (either in 0.44 or 0.47, can't remember)*.

* Edit. found a screenshot of it (judging by the date, it was in 0.44):

Definitely not normal, but I wouldn't call it a bug, because the dwarf eventually stopped adding items to the massive stack of ingredients, and they didn't attempt to cook furniture or socks.

Don't let players tell you it is a bug just because your dwarf disobeyed the laws of the noble dwarfs. This happens in DF. Your dwarf saw the large amount of raw fruit collecting in the fort and decided to use their skills to preserve it, creating a cubic meter of candied fruit treats that will last for years.

It should be called "rare, outstanding, and praiseworthy". If you are feeling dwarfy about it, you could take the opportunity to find out if display furniture can preserve food, by putting that roast on display in a highly trafficked hallway, then check if dwarfs get happy thoughts from viewing it.

It happens sometimes, with food and artifacts. Some people have been reporting dwarfs emptying their entire stock of gems and metal bars to make one item.

Blue Dwarf has been happy lately. He did some !!science!! recently. He admired a fine forum post lately. He was enraged by a forum troll recently. He was upset by the delayed release of the new version of Dwarf Fortress lately. He took joy in planning a noble's death recently.

This is bug 7546, and it can happen with fruit, flour, or milk.  A more obscure way to deliberately break the four-item limit on roasts is to forbid some food when it's already being cooked in the workshop, then order another roast and unforbid said food while the cook hauls something else to the kitchen.

Wow. It's almost ten years old soon. We have to celebrate a decade!
