Food consumption priority

[sausages]

I am looking forward to any changes to this - right now they all have been eating raw potatoes and raw onions even though I have so many other great food in the food storage

From what I've seen, they will eat whatever is in the top left corner of the food storage and work their way across and downwards in a standard sequential manner.
Put the food you've cooked in top left position and see if they start eating that instead.

I kind of expected there would be some kind of bonus for having multiple food types, like trust growing faster. And that people would take food pretty much at random, or take their favorite food first if you have it, take hot food if they're cold, etc. I haven't played the game enough to know if any of that happens, but just taking the top item from the shelf seems a bit simplistic.

Of which inventory?!? What I see is that cooked food by NPCs goes to the stockpile rather then food storage...

I tried storing raw food directly in the kitchen so they'd eat cooked food only from the food store. That works, but as previously mentioned cooked food gets put in the main stockpile instead, so I have to move it to the food cellar myself or they don't eat it.

their is already a food bonus but not from eating
