Has this been written about somewhere? If so, could someone tell me what was written? The piece of dragon in question was the heart of a black dragon which was made into dragon stew. I doubt it'll affect the effects, but the stew had potatoes, onions, dried peppers, and mushrooms in it too. This has become quite a debate so I'd certainly appeciate an answer.

"Small beings can have small wisdom," the dragon said. "And small wise beings are better than small fools. Listen: Wisdom is caring for afterwards."
"Caring for afterwards ...? Ker repeated this without understanding.
"After action, afterwards," the dragon said. "Choose the afterwards first, then the action. Fools choose action first."

I would say it is edible. But you may want to have different "cuts" of Dragon meat from different dragons require special preparations to be safe to consume.
I think the heart of a black dragon may be "acidic" enough to kill if not prepared correctly, much like puffer fish in Japan. Said heart would have to be removed by a special method to ensure all acid is removed while leaving the highly delectible heart intact and ready to eat. |

Eating dragon meat and dragon dragon blood may have unintended side effects such as learning what birds are really saying, which, as 'Monty Python's Flying Circus" revealed years ago, isn't a whole lot.

I think that before anybody tried, the dragon should
probably be killed 1st. |

It taste like Chicken.

Red Dragon: The hottest known meat in the realms. Remember that scene in the Simpsons with Chief Wiggum making the super hot chili? Yeah, thats the minor part. The dark meat is much more hotter. But one of the better tasting meat.
Green Dragon: Poisonous. But tastes so good. Good way to assassanate people though.
White Dragon: Uncookable. It seems like the white dragon meat just cannot get heated, even by magical means. It reminds raw and frozen.
Blue Dragon: Has a bit of a spice to it, like Cumin. However, it sizzles in your mouth, and sends little shocks of joy down ones spine.
Black Dragon: Another poisonious meat. However, this one can be salvaged, if cooked right. Not as good as Green though.
I've yet to decide on how the other dragons would taste. That is how it is in my game though. |

| A week and a half ago, at my every-other-week gaming group, we brought down and blue, and my wild dwarf (non-Realmsian of Realmsian design) decided to slice off a bit and eat it (it was responsible for the hobgoblins that killed his tribe). We decided that it was probably spicy, and we talked about the other colors and decided on similar results to what dracons posted above. |

Gold Dragons: Taste exactly like Goldschlagger alcohal. Smells of
incense before cooked.
Silver Dragon: Tastes somewhat like Coors beer-silver bullet
Mercury Dragon: Poisonous, metallic taste, not real good.
Brown Dragon: Tastes like chocolate, especially sought for
Spring Celebrations (think Easter and choco bunny)

I normally wouldn't consider it, but it was in character for this character. |

If cows would talk, what would they say before you turned them into cheeseburgers?
As an orc, I ate the fingers of other orcs.
Haven't really done any eating sentient creatures myself. |

Interesting point. Particularly given that many of those dragons, and other carnivorous beasties aren't nearly so discriminating. After all, how many times have you heard/played a dragon who toys a bit with his perfectly sentient (well, they are PCs, so I may be overdoing it, I suppose) prey?
Yeah, dragons do it. But they generally have a low opinion of non-dragons, even if they can talk to them.
*shrugs* There are a couple of things in roleplaying that bug my modern, real-world sensibilities. And eating sentient critters is one of them. I've also never really liked the standard thing of looting dead bodies, though I've had my characters do it often enough. |

Wooly, your point about not eating sentient creatures is precisely the one enforced by the DRAGON editor who once deep-sixed one of Ed's articles ("Dragon Soup"), a collection of monster-use recipes (my "horrid favourite" was Baked Stirge On Toast) that a previous DRAGON editor had specifically asked Ed to write.
So it's a stance that has been taken "officially" before.

The Draconomicon, the second edition FR product, had some lines on this, as I recall.
I too wrote a short story on this subject, called "Wyrm Food," which appeared in the anthology Fantasy Readers Wanted -- Apply Within. It involved a mad gourmet who hires a dragonslayer to retrieve a dragon brain for him. |

For me, it would depend on the character I was playing whether or not they'd eat sentient creature flesh, if they even knew what it was in the first place.
I don't have a problem with characters eating sentient creature meat, properly prepared of course, but it also highly depends on the creature type too. Dragons and other monstrous beings are sufficiently non-anthropomorphic enough to consider putting on the menu, but humanoids are right out, and considering all the other vile and debased things adventurers do during their careers, and have committed upon them, what's on the menu can be have just as much fantasy flavor to it as discovering a new type of magic. Just because we wouldn't eat it doesn't mean Merle the Monster Slayer/Cook doesn't see the potential.  |

There's just one hole in your logic, Wooly.
In FR (or any fantasy setting, for that matter) you can 'talk' to just about anything, just by using magic.
Just ask any Urdunnir Dwarf who had an argument with a rock after he used it as a slingstone.
So you can indeed talk to cows, which to me, makes the idea of eating it afterwards pretty damn gross.
I'd eat it's quiet friend, though.
Bizarre Question that just lept to mind:
Would a Minotaur (one of the more 'civilized' types, like from Taladas) get really mad if he caught you eating a hamburger? Would he even eat one himself?  |
