Lizardfolk Cuisine

History

Lizardfolk have always enjoyed food one of two ways. They either eat their food raw or they grill their foods in heavy spices. Throughout their history eating food raw has been the more common way, especially for the lower classes. However, recently the cities in Madrinvor have experiences enough economic prosperity that has allowed even the commoners to supplement most of their diet with fine grilled meats and vegetables. Wealthy lizardfolk can enjoy a vast array of exotic spices from all over the world but they usually prefer ones that add a heat or spiciness to the flavor. To the other races these spices can sometime be overpowering , especially to those used to milder diets such as the Oodvir.
