Eating high {{L|item quality|quality}} prepared food gives your dwarves happy {{L|thought}}s if the meal contains one of their {{L|preference|favorite}} foods {{Bug|4661}}. It is not precisely known how a cook's skill and the quality of ingredients affect the happiness generated by a meal, but as a general rule there's no such thing as "too good". |
