http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_GeorgeIn Christian hagiography Saint George - The Saint who killed the Dragon (ca. 275-281–April 23, 303) was a soldier of the Roman Empire, from Anatolia, now modern day Turkey, who was venerated as an Islamic and Christian martyr. Saint George is the most venerated saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church and Oriental Orthodox Churches. Immortalised in the tale of George and the Dragon, he is the patron saint of Canada, Catalonia, England, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Montenegro, Portugal, Serbia, the cities of Istanbul, Ljubljana and Moscow, as well as a wide range of professions, organisations and disease sufferers.
...Hymn of St. George:
"Liberator of captives,
and defender of the poor,
physician of the sick,
and champion of kings,
O trophy-bearer,
and Great Martyr George,
intercede with
Christ our God that
our souls be saved."

Fresh-killed dragon must be gutted, rinsed out, and hung until the skin feels about to slip off the carcass, or the meat isn't fit to eat. Cooks have been banished for failing to properly time the aging of the carcass to coincide with the feast. There is no wine that can properly be served with dragon - only ale or (in the 5-star castles) spiced mead. How has our culinary knowledge slipped to this low ebb? Next, someone will claim that unicorn is best served fresh-killed grilled with a dry rub, garnished with capers!:yuck:hypatia said:I would go for a red one with a rosey blush, sense the rose is the flower of the day. Its just so hard to find good dragon these days, enjoy!
