Would they style extra like poultry although, or do you assume it’s a particular sort of purple meat? Maybe it’s a mixture of each, and Senshi would absolutely like to flex his culinary expertise with that.

A mystical soul meals that brings collectively varied components of the creature and usually blended with potatoes, greens, and herbs.
Ankheg
The Ankheg is one other traditional monster from the depths of DnD lore that’s not precisely simple on the eyes, being an unsettling combine between an antlion and an particularly rabid praying mantis.

Senshi would absolutely don’t have any problem with roasting the secure, non-acidic components over an open fireplace with the suitable spices. Like different bugs chosen for cookery, they’d in all probability go properly on a skewer and loved in that trend. Simply ignore the truth that it got here from an enormous, carnivorous bug and hopefully it tastes considerably like hen.
Cockatrice

Whereas that sounds lots scrumptious (aha), we wished to determine one thing a bit extra distinctive and seemed to its beautifully clawed toes.
In the identical trend as a hen, the toes might be was a hearty and delicious snack with easy elements, although we’d suggest pickling them somewhat than straight-up steaming them. Which means boiling them in sizzling water, sticking them in an ice-cold tub afterward to tighten them up, after which utilizing vinegar, sugar, and different elements like inexperienced onion and a spicy sauce to provide them taste. When completed, you may have a simple dungeon snack to both sit and revel in or whereas on the go from one ground to the subsequent.
The Beholder

Nevertheless, must you occur to have that culinary third eye like Senshi or (let’s face it) Laios, there are literally plenty of methods you can remodel this monster right into a dish to…properly, behold. Our creativeness led to the thought of taking a Beholder’s tongue, which is lots large enough for a meal and slicing it into filets.
From there, you craft some makeshift puff pastry from varied different elements equivalent to Bluecap Mushrooms, additionally generally discovered within the Underdark. Wrap it round your filets and presto! You’ve gotten your self some Beholder Tongue Wellingtons! Don’t fear, you don’t want to make use of these eyeballs for something.
Slaad

They arrive in a number of completely different variants, relying on their coloration, and whereas they’ll use magic, they’re greatest recognized for imbuing their exceptional bodily energy with it. Oh, and there’s the poison beneath their pores and skin as properly. Going through a number of of those in battle is actually not one you’d need to take evenly.
What’s the Dish? – Relating to cooking something frog-related, our first thought is normally, after all, frog legs. Within the case of getting ready a slain Slaad monster, there would definitely be greater than loads of frog leg meat to go round in your total get together. Going off Senshi’s culinary knowledge, the meat of the Slaad might be breaded and both broiled or fried, and served as you’ll hen legs or some other poultry. The one query remaining that Senshi would possible ask is whether or not every variant of the Slaad tastes any completely different.
Grick
Ought to you end up wandering by means of caverns of the Underdark, a Grick is one thing you’d actually not need to encounter if you happen to can assist it. Nevertheless, they do wish to lurk inside the partitions of such caverns, camouflage themselves, and await any unsuspecting prey that they’ll snatch up with their barbed tentacles. This worm-meets-octopus monstrosity is the stuff of nightmares, and outsmarting its penchant for ambushing is the important thing to not getting chomped by that monstrous beak of a mouth.
What’s the Dish? – Within the case of a Grick, we may see Senshi eager to make full use of the meat, and the tentacles as properly. In spite of everything, anybody who’s partaken is aware of what squid and octopus are recognized for making – crispy calamari. Loads of that might be made with the Grick’s menacing tentacles and served with some particularly savory dipping sauce.
Bulette
The ultimate entry on our record goes to the Bulette, which is a captivating monster simply in its anatomy. They’ve been escribed by some as ‘land dragons’ or ‘land sharks’, whereas they’ve additionally been famous for his or her snapping turtle-like traits.

Lined in armor from head to toe, few handle to flee their brutal assaults earlier than it’s too late.
What’s the Dish? – Within the case of a Bulette, the sheer accomplishment of slaying certainly one of these can solely be topped by making an extremely particular, savory dish.

He’d even form them like turtles in addition, which we may completely get behind.

Toss it into an enormous pot with loads of different elements equivalent to butter, onion, peppers, hardboiled eggs, one thing much like a dry Sherry and Worcestershire, and quite a lot of spices. As resourceful as Senshi is, we’d have each ounce of religion that he’d pull off his personal rendition of this dish and have Laios, Chilchuk, and even Marcille begging for seconds.
That concludes our record of 10 DnD monsters we’d like to eat Dungeon Meshi type. We hope you loved this, and tell us if there’s a legendary creature we haven’t talked about that you simply assume would make a unusually scrumptious dish, if cooked by Senshi.
