Why Don’t We Eat Dragon Meat?

I wonder how dragon tastes?

Today’s random word is dragon

I have often wondered how dragon tastes. It takes effort to kill a dragon. I’ve used lances, axes, and swords. Dragons fight back. The number of scars on my body reflects my profession as a dragon killer.

Lately, I have been thinking that, with famine in the land, why don’t we eat dragon? Once you manage to kill a dragon, in hard times, it seems a waste if you don’t do something with the meat. I would cook it. One good-sized dragon would feed the village for weeks. I wonder if the blue or the gold dragons taste better.
