Flight Rising Discussion

It's worth noting that some food items on site mention cooking in their description, so we can draw inspiration from that! Natron already mentioned some of them back on page 2, but I wanted to share a couple more I thought were fun! Blue Honeycomb suggests that dragons make candy and other types of sweets. Amaranth mentions that dragons grind it down into grain, which makes it possible that dragons could make the same things humans make with ground amaranth, like tortillas. [item=Blue Honeycomb][item=Amaranth]

Adding on to Natron's post, if you read Bounty of the Elements there are instances of breeds eating things outside what we can feed them game mechanics wise, and I believe staff commented that this is most just game mechanics, Tundras and Skydancers are capable of eating fish and meat but they just don't get as much value out of those compared to plants.

You see this irl too. When you think of a deer or a tortoise you probably think of them as plant eaters, but they're definitely capable of eating meat themselves (such as birds). Wolves we tend to see as solely meat eaters but they will also eat vegetation. It's just not very sustainable or nutritious for them!

Dragons I'm sure do cook, as previously evidenced. Fire can be generated in numerous ways and some breeds look as though their limbs are dexterous enough to handle tools and utensils (knives/spoons/ladles/spatulas, seasoning shakers, skewers, etc)

I head canon that all breeds can eat any type of food, but their
game-mechanic diet is what they rely on for most of their nutrients, and thus can’t live without those types of food.

I actually really liked the idea of making Sornieth-based recipes, so a few weeks ago I began writing some. So far I have:

• Caterpillar Sushi:
  Small piles of Yellowtail Caterpillars wrapped in Grassland Grain rice and salted Treasure Plant leaves. Served with a side of Edamame.

• Roasted False Podid:
  One False Podid roasted to perfection and topped with a few sprigs of Boxwood, served inside its shell.

• Chicken Tendies:
  A bucket of either Dappled Hen or Silver-Laced Rooster chicken strips fried in Vegetable Oil and dusted with Cinnamon. Comes with Sugarbee Honey and/or Ashfall Prickler dipping sauce.

• Fried Wrasse:
  One Black Saddled Wrasse fried to a crispy golden brown with Fish Oil and served with a glass white wine.

• Boneyard Salad:
  Canyon Ruffage, Mire Chestnut, and Crisp-leaf Amaranth leaves mixed with Dubious Cucumber slices and topped with a Winter’s Delight vinaigrette.

Meat/seafood “desserts/pastries” I can think of: Bacon topped sweets Half and half clangers (jam filled meat handpies) chocolate porridge with fish Technically any suet, lard or duck fat pastry/biscuit... well sort of lol Does crab count by default? It’s really sweet sometimes. Definitely some types of crab dumplings Mango shrimp rolls Pemmican and mince meat if you have very sweet venison or beef in it Breakfast sausage fritters Carnival food (basically whatever the worst culinary aberrations you can think of) But honestly, dragons are fun magical lizard things, so why get caught up what us humans consider palatable anyway, lol. Tbh, I got tired of trying to grind fest currency in the coliseum and so I’m babbling about dragon food again.

Only had them as separate dishes.
