Dragon Sovereigns and their questionable meal choices
Y'know how Neuvillette is a legit water sommelier. He can actually parse out difference between different type of water. I am gonna chalk it up to Hydro Dragon thing. And while, it raises interesting questions on its own, like how do the different boiling and filtering technique affect the taste? And all the myraid of questions.
(It's even more fun and morbid, if you just go slightly off the tangent and add more questionable things in his diet. Like, how 'primordial sea' was described as Sovereign's blood and the 'beating heart' reference. And, now you get a Neuvillette who is also a fine sanguine sommelier.)
But..back to the topic, What if every dragon species has eccentric taste that completely baffles everyone, but tastes delicious to them?
Do the Anemo Dragons eat wind? Or is it clouds? Are Snezhnayan clouds similar to eating ice cream? Do stormy/thundering clouds leave a tingling aftertaste?
Can Geo Dragon eat dirt? Do they cronch on invaluable stones (diamonds, ruby)? Do they like to eat fine, powdery, soil? Or smooth, soupy mud with the hint of petrichor? (Hilarious image of Azhdaha and Zhongli fine dining but its gem, mud, soil. Mmmhm, delicious.) Do they eat enitre jars of salt?
What about Apep? Is she an herbivore dragon? Eating plant, fruits or whole ass trees, fungi, algae, etc. Just nibbling on an entire Acasia tree and enjoying the prickling texture of spines.
Pyro Dragon? Do they enjoy fires based on the type of fuel used(specific woods)? Are they like greek gods? Burn the sacrifices and they enjoy it through the smoke?
Electro Dragons? Waiting underneath thunderstorms with their mouths open to sample lightning? 'Ah, yes, this one was particulary strong. Such fine taste of conviction in it.' Do they get drunk on lightning and electricity?
What about Cryo Dragons? Do they like everything frozen? Icicles and snow? Do they eat permafrozen food? Are snowflakes a delicacy for them? Like HP verse thousand flavour candy (based on two snowflakes having enitrely different design) so it's always a delight to eat them?
There' so much you can do with Dragon pallate. Add in, besides taste what does their favoured diet coveys to them? Like Neuvi can sense emotions through water, so maybe that's an important factor and helps him in gwtting more deeper meaning out of his water tasting besides good taste?
