I must have messed up the Labor/Kitchen settings at embark - usually the first thing I do, and many hours later, I realized that none of my plump helmets had ever been used.

I was happily buying fruit from elven caravans and making booze out of that instead. At some point, I decided to stop buying it, since I thought the fortress should easily be self-sufficient by then.

Well... it was quite interesting when, after opening access to cavern water, the whole population ran off to get a drink.

My drink supplies eventually dropped below 50, so I started investigating. Option for "Brew dring from plant" greyed out, while kitchen literally surrounded with barrels full of mushrooms.

Another lesson learned.
