dragon's breath

Legendary lizard's flames

Dragon's breath names several things united by the image of fire or vapor from a dragon's mouth.

In weaponry, it's an incendiary shotgun round that sprays burning metal.

In cooking, it's a frozen treat—cereal puffs or candy dipped in liquid nitrogen that produces vapor when eaten: The kids loved watching the dragon's breath fog pour from their mouths.

In horticulture, it's a vivid red celosia cultivar.
