Kitchen Menu & Seed Shortages
Shrugging Khan:
So far, I never allowed my kitchens to cook plants. Why? Because there's been several occasions on which I unintentionally cooked all my plants and then had no seeds left to plant next season! And that's scary! Because my fortresses tend to get big, and hungry, and without stable food supply except for the farms. But I want to make proper food for my dwarvies, not have them gnaw on plump helmets and berries all the time.
So: Is there a way of having automated cooking of plants, without the kitchens consuming all the plants? So some can be saved for seeds?

Forbid some of the plants. (The ones you want to save.)
Shrugging Khan:
I want all of them saved...in seeding quantities :(
Not just specific kinds, but some seeds of at least un-consumed specimen of each type of plant.
No workarounds for this one?
Keolah:
Use types of plants that you can process before cooking?
numerobis:
A million years ago there was discussion on these boards of a way to keep some number of seeds (or whatever else -- booze, for example) safe from cooking. It would be nice.
