Welsh Folklore Feasts: Cooking with Dragon's Fire
In the valleys of Wales, where mist clings to ancient stones and legends live in every shadow, the tradition of cooking with dragon's fire has been passed down through generations. Today, we're sharing the secrets of creating your own Welsh folklore feast.
## The Ancient Recipes
Welsh folklore speaks of magnificent feasts prepared with the breath of dragons - meals so intensely flavored and perfectly spiced that they could bring communities together and create bonds that lasted lifetimes.
### Traditional Welsh Dragon Feast Elements
**The Fire Starter**: Every folklore feast began with the most intensely spiced dish to "awaken the dragon within." This tradition lives on in our Dragon's Breath seasonings.
**The Community Dish**: Large, shared meals that brought people together, seasoned with spices that represented the strength of the Welsh dragon.
**The Storytelling Spice**: Special blends reserved for the most important occasions, when stories and legends were shared around the fire.
