World Guide - Side I Book Entry
"Dragon Spike" is one of the popular homemade dishes in Dragonia, served in every home along with potatoes or stews. It is usually consumed by dipping it somewhere. We dragonians are careful to bake these buns in the oven, and although their surface feels very hard to the touch, which fits the name "Dragon Spike," the inside of such a bun is, on the contrary, very soft. This is not an easy bun to make, however, because the flour that is made in Dragonia tends to harden when baked in a hot oven. However, there are ways to bake it so that only the crust is hard and crispy and the bun is puffy in the middle.

It is very difficult to regulate the temperature of the oven. But if you manage to bake the surface properly as a result, you thereby limit the heat inside the bun, forever keeping its fresh flavor inside. Well... in order to achieve this, you'll have to repeat over and over again, consisting of lots of trial and error. And for the dish to turn out truly delicious, you definitely have to think of your loved one the whole time. Learning how to make Dragon Spikes comes as one part of the bride's training in the Order of the Dragon Knights, in addition to the simple cooking classes. After all, as they say, only a good wife can make good Dragon Spikes. I'm still practicing because my buns are still burning up in practice, but I'm sure I'll get good results if I get good at it!

And anyway! For us Dragons of Dragonia, this dish is special. These Dragon Spikes were originally made by humans for dragons during the founding of the country, using less flour, when the amount of food was not as plentiful as it is now. In fact, we understand that humans are better at baking bread, whereas for dragons it is a delicate job that we do rather clumsily. Nevertheless, for us it is the bread that man first shared with the dragon, the special first meal that we can eat together, side by side with humans, in the same way now. That's why we, like you humans, are in the same process, lovingly engaged in the same thing, that's the whole point. Among monster dishes, it's just plain bread, with no unusual effects... but in Dragonia, all the love and tender affection of a dragoness is put into every Dragon spike you make. Are you saying it's a good dish? The most delicious dish is love and I hope you too... can get some♥. ~ Newcomer's tour from Wyvern Shirtiya ~
