The Foods of Mistral Jamboree
I recently joined wind flight, and I’m trying to get in the spirit of Noodledad! This post is heavily inspired by @lionsongfr​’s Trickmurk Circus food headcanon posts!
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.Â
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.Â
“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.Â
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.Â
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!Â
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. Â
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!
