Just a quick note: it's likely that meat products being uncookable is an unintended feature, so here's a quick fix.

Open material_template_default.txt in the raws folder for your save, then replace all [MEAT] tags with [MEAT][EDIBLE_COOKED] instead.

Frankly I don't think that's really needed. Historically most of the parts of the butchered animal would be eaten, everything from the hooves to the nostrils. It's only in recent times that we've become picky about what parts we're interested in consuming, limiting our definition of edible to muscle tissue. Plenty of people still eat brains, livers, kidneys and so forth even today; have a look in your local meat section and no doubt you'll find these. You might find the idea of eating such tissues distasteful, but I doubt my dwarves share your culinary preferences.

Arguing over their body features seems rather pointless, no?

Just remember that a furniture object won't contribute to room value if you make a room from it. So assigning that chair as a study to your noble is as effective as using a -schist throne-.

Frankly anything in flight doesn't exist. It's why your 20 z-level pit filled with magma won't incinerate the goblins you drop into it until they hit the bottom.

Let it die please.

One thing I wonder is if the speech text has been updated now that females don't have beards. For example, the adventurer text has such gems as:

whose beard was sparse and patchy
whose beard I wove into a funeral shroud

And the elf liaison also references beards in his insult text.

Yeah, the main reason is "because I can." Also, filling the pit will get rid of the annoying undead infesting it. I've decided to go with the construct, cast, reconstruct, deconstruct method. Seems the simplest way to go about it.
