Dietary Needs and Habits
The Lizardfolk diet is heavily based on waht they saw the sea elves eat, however without proper preservation through magical means they prefer to more heavily salt their food. They also find spices hard to find, but adore spicy food and use it when they can heavily. A unique set of Lizardfolk foods include the Bongou Fish, which is only palattable to Lizardfolk; as well as the Pinez spice, a bug crushed up into a dry powder. Both are hated by other races, especially the Bongou fish, that is commonly spread on bread.
