The food of kings and queens

Why I chose to be a bestianader? Why for the basilisk meat of course! Have you ever eaten it? No of course not! You are not a king or a bestianader! But I slay monsters like basilsiks for a living so I have eaten more basilisk then most high nobles of the kingdom!   /Professional bestianader on why he chose to hunt monsters for a living
  One of the many ways basilisk is cooked. This is the most tender, juicy and naturally spicy meat in existence. And this steak is made whit only the best cuts of the deadly baby dragon. Only the richest men and women in the world can ever afford to bye this meat. Those all basilisk meat is the food of kings and queens.   And those whom slay a basilisk of coarse. It is custom that once a basilisk is slain it's slayer(s) gets to eat one of this steaks.  

Ingredients

  • One perfectly cut piece of basilisk meat. Anywhere below the head to the end of the tail will do.
  • A few spoonfuls of honey. Their are those whom have tried to eat basilisk whit out something sweet or dairy. And tho still delicious most of them needed something to deal whit the spiciness of the meat.
