Krei Hadishi Stew

Krei Hadishi is typically made by roasting smaller prey animals whole until blackened and scrapping off any excess char, burnt hides, fur, or scales. These are boiled alongside charred and roasted bones, fat, thickeners, and spices until the stew is thick and almost gelatinous due to excess cartilage and gelatin extracted from the bones. Large bones will typically be removed from the stew to be broken into smaller and more digestible pieces, or used for other recipes.   Copper Seasonings and Supplements are quite common in recipes for krei hadishi, as it is a common comfort food given to young and adolescent dragons for treating common childhood illnesses, and associated with healing, similar to other soups among humanoids. It's thought that krei hadishi, due to its high fat and calcium content, does provide more benefit to young dragons who may be suffering from lack of appetite, stomach issues, and gastrointestinal ailments for correcting the guy biome as well as providing crucial nutrients that may have been lost during many common childhood illnesses. When made for treating illness, the dish is oftentimes heavily spiced with powdered copper, which also masks the taste of medications that may have been added to the dish.

A draconic stew, typically made of smaller animals. It is a staple food item among young dragons and subadults, oftentimes used as a comfort food within their food culture and strongly associated with recovery from childhood ailments.   In cooler regions of the world, the dish has become quite common as not only a way to abate the cold, but also for making use of much more prey than is typically available. Small prey that may not be worth eating on its own for many adult dragons is often stockpiled and prepared into the stew to be stored for longer periods of time, such as over winter when hunting may be far more scarce. Dragons in the polar or tundra regions of the world are known to make the stew with far higher fat content and use it as a preservation method, freezing the stew's broth around other portions of meet in caches dug into snow and ice, to be reheated and cooked again at a later date. Typically, these versions of the stews are made primarily out of fish, seals, and occasionally with blubber and fat scavenged from beached whales, seals, or porpoises.   Among some flights, the stew is occasionally used as a coming of age rite among adolescents, in which before leaving the territory of their parents, young dragons are taught their flight's version of the recipe. Upon making the recipe for themselves and according to individual flight standards, they are deemed ready to leave their familial territory and fend for themselves. This often coincides with other family recipes or coming of age rites, and is not the sole marker of becoming a subadult alone, but often a step within the process. Such rites are less common in dragons inhabiting hotter regions of the world, or areas with far more abundant hunting opportunities.
