And Finally A Legend......

This exotic looking fruit is crying out to having a legend so here it goes.....



Thousands of years ago fire breathing dragons created the dragon fruit.

During battle, when the dragons breathed fire, the last thing to come out would be the fruit. If the dragon was slain, the fruit would be collected and presented to the Emperor as an indication of victory and as such was a prized treasure.



Whilst the slain dragon would have been eaten by the victorious soldiers ... it being believed that if you ate the flesh of the dragon you became empowered with the dragon’s strength and ferocity.


In fact, it is said that the meat from the base of the dragon’s tail from where it was believed the dragons fire originated, was the sweetest and best tasting. It is said that the thirst for these meat is what brought about the destruction of all dragons.....


or so the legend goes.....
