Pigs, sheep and goats (very hearty for/at high altitudes), even beef in some cases/larger areas. Milk is likely from goats. I would imagine dwarven made cheeses to be some of the best in the world. Poultry/eggs are a simple enough matter to trade for and keep them somewhere they can get some sun and scratch around every once in a while...but kept for the eggs, not the meat...often.Farming, I think you're right about the tuber vegetables, and I would add a good deal of onion, leek and scallion/"spring onion", and beans and cabbages, the more savory/heartier herbs (thyme, rosemary, etc...), maybe some lavendar, mint, and edible flowers...mushrooms of all kinds are a given.There are many secret, rocky yet green, beautiful places, high in the world that aren't necessarily always beneath snow. Dwarves, no doubt, know -if are not the originators- of any of these places within walking distance from their entrances, and use them to raise their food in relative security.Maybe hunters are sent out for some deer and boar every now and again.</blockquote>
