Dragon Wing Soup

Dragon wing soup is a traditional Salian soup sometimes served at noble weddings or when electing a new monarch. Due to the rarity and difficulty in obtaining dragon wings only the very wealthy can afford to serve this dish. The dragon wings provide both a very unique flavour and the soups distinct texture.
The soup originated long ago during the dragon wars. According to legend, the Salian soldiers were starving due to the dragons having cut off their supply lines, the resourceful Salians then resorted to eating their fallen enemies. Some of the soldiers discovered that the wings would make an excellent soup, and their families would continue passing on this recipe even centuries after the war had ended.
The wings are usually imported from the northernmost parts of Salia where dragon hunting is still a common pastime for nobles. In other parts of Salia, many citizens feel it is unethical to use dragon wings in food, especially since dragons are a sapient species.

Taste

The dragon wings add a rich earthy taste to the soup, and a bit of spiciness due to the natural heat of dragon meat. Most of the soup's texture also comes from the wings, and can best be described as being somewhere between chewy and crunchy. The soup often tastes quite salty and can be very spicy depending on what spices the chef adds.
