for plague i like to think all food is thrown in a big pile in the middle of the lair, and whenever a dragon is hungry they just grab a handful and do what they wish. so some dragons would cook it it and get it looking nice, while others just eat everything straight from the pile

Oh! A long while ago, I posted a raffle having to do with the foods to do with wind flight! Here are some of the things I thought of back then:
Food
Windbeutel or “Wind Bags”: Light, flaky puff pastry swirled into little mountains and filled with whipped or pastry cream. Airy and sweet, these are great little snacks to munch on while picnicking on the sloped hills of the Windswept Plateau.
Roaming Garden Salad: Flowers humanely clipped from the backs of overgrown Travelling Garden Tortoises are tossed with fresh greens, quinoa, and pomegranate arils to create a sweet, juicy salad that is a favorite of Tundras and other veggie eating dragons.
Cloudsong Ceviche: Great lengths of filament weighted down with bells, feathers, and carved wooden ornaments are hung over the sides of the Cloudsong and dragged through the waters below. Whatever is pulled up is chopped and marinaded in citrus juice and tossed with fresh veggies and herbs to create a refreshing and more classy dish for the Jamboree.
“Windsinger’s Wings”: Wind Flight natives love to jokingly tell unknowing outsiders that the Windsinger actually DOES have wings! They’re just so small, it’s hard to see them! They then hold up a piece of Grilled Lilyfowl wing for a size comparison and watch the look of confusion spread across the other dragon’s face.
Wok-Fried Beetles: For more adventurous eaters, Mistral Beetles are coated with chili, garlic, and ginger powder and fried in rich oil until crispy. For the less adventurous dragons, edamame and chestnuts are used instead. Energetic and air-headed Spiral vendors have a tendency to accidentally mix the two types, much to the dismay of bug hating dragons everywhere.
Bamboo-Shoot Biryani: Rice, meat, and tons of spices are stuffed inside of bamboo shoots and steam cooked in a hot rock oven. Throughout the entire Windswept Plateau plumes of steam rise up from the ground, causing lack of visibility.. but my goodness, it smells great!
Windsinger-Jumps-Over-the-Reeds Hotpot: The story behind the name is that the meal smells so good that even Windsinger would stop roaming – and jump over the reeds – in order to eat it. This dish can range from mild to super spicy, which might have you hopping over the reeds in search of water!
Papa’s Eggs: Boiled quail eggs with brightly colored shells! The pigments for the swirls and patterns are made with crushed berries and painted on with deft claws from skilled craftsmen from all across wind territory. Some dragons try to preserve these little works of art, but find themselves dismayed when they inevitably deteriorate. As the craftsmen say, these should be here one day and then gone with the wind!
Stinging Spirals: Tentacles from electric stinger jellyfish are tossed with rice noodles, sesame oil, and herbs to create a delicious cold salad... provided you can get over the sting! This food leaves a trail of swollen faces, but it’s still considered a staple of any Wind Flight celebrations!
Onion Compass: A deep fried blooming onion, coated in garlic, ginger, and paprika. They say that when it is served to you, the longest petal points in the direction of something you should pursue!
Ganja Gummies: Adds a whole bunch to the quantity of other food consumed by dragons attending the Jamboree! Great for the pocketbooks of food vendors, terrible for the pocketbooks of festival goers.
Drinks
Sweet Grass Smoothie: A deliciously sweet smoothie with tons of healthy benefits! It’s cooling and refreshing, making it excellent when drank after some spicy festival food.
Cloud and Mist Tea: Minty jadevine and matcha are steeped in crystal clear water gathered from the mists from the waterfalls between the sheer cliffs at the bottom of the Reedcleft Ascent. They say that this tea has mystical properties, helping to clear a multitude of illnesses. Doctors don’t necessarily agree, but they too find it delicious regardless!
Lemon Chuhai: Super refreshing, but also incredibly intoxicating. It’s hard to stop at just one glass! Maybe just a little bit more... a little more... just a sip more...
Duneberry Sparkler: Extremely fizzy, and delightfully sweet. It’s so carbonated, that it continues to fizz and pop long after it’s already in your tummy! Just be careful if a storm is in the forecast; you might find a storm starting to brew inside you too.
Caliper Coffee: Said to be the reason that the Windsinger can travel endlessly across the globe without stopping! You won’t be able to stop after drinking this either!
On tumblr, about 5 years ago (oh gosh) there was also a post about flight culinary headcanons. It read:
-Light Flight food has very clean, bright (no pun intended) flavors. They use native plants and animals in light dishes that tend towards the summery- salads, summer rolls, sorbets, light soups, etc. They are very keen on presentation and a Light feast will feature elaborate displays. It’s similar to Thai food in some regards, though it’s almost never spicy. Non-carnivorous Light Flight dragons eat very little meat.
-Shadow Flight food features- unsurprisingly- a lot of mushrooms and ground-hugging forage. Dense, mysterious gumbos and stews are the flight’s signature dishes, but Shadow dragons have a notorious sweet tooth as well. Sornieth’s best candies and pastries come from Shadow confectioneries.
-Nature Flight tends to eschew cooking as a whole, preferring to eat their food raw though not without seasoning from the herbs and spices that grow in their lands. A popular hazing ritual for new dragons in a clan is to eat the hottest pepper that can be found- without making a face! Nature dragons delight in fresh fruits and vegetables and in the summer may eat little else.
-Ice Flight dragons prefer food that is easily stored and freezes well, and aren’t picky about what they eat. They tend to prefer fatty foods that will provide essential calories in the cold, and meat-eating dragons will keep a stash of animal blubber for particularly hard freezes. Ice Flight dragons are fond of a dessert similar to akutaq comprised of animal fat and berries..
-Plague dragons are always ALWAYS hungry and will eat damn near anything, rotten or not. A dragon from Plague Flight will think about gorging itself first and flavor second, though when a clan has sufficient stores they greatly enjoy preparing dry, spicy dishes typical of desert-bound beings. Any excess food is dried into jerkies or pastes that can be reconstituted or eaten as-is.
-Lightning Flight adores junk food above all else. Its workers often bring stores of chips and other greasy things to tide them over during long hours in the Boss’ workshops. They will fry ANYTHING given the chance. Some of Lightning’s more ambitious chefs enjoy pushing the boundaries of what can be considered food, producing dishes that exist purely as vapor, entire liquid meals, and other feats of culinary engineering.
-Water Flight’s amphibious members don’t do much cooking for obvious reasons and prefer their food to be extremely fresh. A particularly fine catch or harvest might be sliced and presented in a way similar to sashimi, as Water dragons are very conscious of their food’s aesthetics.
-Earth Flight food is simple, humble, and filling. They very rarely include more than a few ingredients in their dishes, and like Ice favor food that can be stored and preserved easily. Earth feasts are very communal affairs where each participant is expected to contribute with whatever they can offer.
-Arcane cuisine is bizarre. They have a habit of twisting their food into new and unorthodox forms inspired by the alien landscape of their home, such that Arcane dishes sometimes aren’t even recognizable as food. They especially favor crystallized desserts dyed to resemble the Starfall Isles’ peaks.
-Wind food consists of many small, varied dishes served in the manner of tapas. Wind dragons tend to snack all day long and typically don’t have large regular meals at all. They are perhaps the most adventurous when it comes to other Flights’ foods and will gladly try anything once.
-Fire Flight food is spicy, dense, and not for the faint of heart. Roasted chunks of meat impaled on sticks are a signature dish of many clans. Fire dragons excel at baking and produce all manner of breads that pair well with the bold flavors of their cooking.

[b]Plague dishes headcanon time[/b]
[list]
[*][b]OFFAL[/b]! Every variety meat you can get is plague cousine. (google Offal at your own discretion, it's basically entrails, but tell me that doesn't fit plague).
[*]Also the sort of dishes you would find in south american indigenous cousine. Stuff like crocodile meat, eel and crab from swampy areas (such as the mangue... Doesn't that sound like things you'd find in the mire?)
[*]Also a lot of stuff you find in poor brazilian household's bbq. (kind of overlapping with offal here). Chicken neck and leg, pig feet, ox tongue, ox heart... But adapted to FR.
[*]Also chicken heart, of course. (that one is actually delicious and served in fancy steakhouses unlike my previous examples. I can't believe other countries don't eat that. Go to a brazilian steakhouse and order a stick of roasted chicken hearts, seriously)
[*]Bone marrow soup
[/list]
Although I think they would steer clear of carbs like rice and beans. Or plants in general. It's just meat, lots of meat. Plant eating dragons in plague probably have to work with what they got with those scrawny pine trees or get their food from other flight areas....
