Scraps from a Dwarven Cookbook

I've come to realize that most of the RPG related ideas I come up with end up shuffled away to some forgotten corner of Quora, never to be seen again.  So, to collect them all in one place for easier reference, a few of those I liked better are getting transferred here.

If you found an ancient Dwarven cookbook in a long forgotten ruins in Dungeons and Dragons, what recipes might you find?

Recipes and cooking advice found in dwarven cookbooks tends to fall into one or more of the following categories:

• References to rare monsters (ones not listed in the MM, or listed by an untranslated dwarven name), but only described in detail as to how to gut and cook them. Might mention poison glands or horns or such, but not always directly helpful in identifying how to combat the thing.

• References to some highly prized ingredient (like Silphium) which was key for so many things, ultra healthy and made everything better, but which can no longer be identified. May not exist anymore or is super rare.

• Some other, more common, ingredient you normally use only rarely or in moderation, but the dwarf recipes seem to put it in everything. Maybe genius, maybe disgusting.

• A lot of really mundane foods that you can cook in a big batch, in a hurry so you can get back to work. All either too salty or fairly tasteless and unappetizing, but tend not to go bad.

• Recipes for when normal food runs out (rotten egg souffle, rancid chicken marinated in lye, rind jerky, beard bread, fried hat, engine grease puddin', Pica's Delight, chewing copper, etc.).

• Every possible way to ferment beer.
