This reminds me, one year I made Arrabiata based on the ingame recipe:

Arrabiata:
1 x Dragon Meat
1 x Holy Basil
1 x Kazham Peppers
1 x Mhaura Garlic
1 x Olive Oil
1 x Pomodoro Sauce
1 x Rock Salt
1 x Spaghetti

Where Pomodoro Sauce:
1 x Bay Leaves
1 x Black Pepper
1 x Olive Oil
1 x Rock Salt
1 x Holy Basil
1 x Wild Onion
1 x Mithran Tomato
1 x Misareaux Parsley

Everything was made from scratch, where:

Alligator Meat = Dragon Meat
Basil = Holy Basil
Habaneros = Kazham Peppers
Garlic = Mhaura Garlic
Olive Oil
Kosher Salt = Rock Salt
Bay Leaves
Black Pepper
Yellow Onion = Wild Onion
Roma Tomato = Mithran Tomato
Italian Parsley = Misareaux Parsley

Campanelle = Spaghetti (Spaghetti is boring)

Turned out pretty good actually. I did feel like I had more Life and Strength after eating it; but I didn't feel I retained more rage after punching people...

It's possible you weren't fighting targets of a high enough level. When increasing one's combat skill, as tempting as a leisurely drive through the kindergarden playground may be, it is important to actually go hand-to-hand with targets at least tall enough and intelligent enough to attempt to bite you in the groin.

With a multitude of delicious treats from around Vana’diel, the VanaFest attendees will surely need something to quench their thirst and wash down all of those mithkabobs!

Our top chefs are putting their hearts and souls into creating the most refreshing beverages, and as such they have to try and test a variety of combinations to refine the flavor.

Below is their latest experiment:



Can anyone guess as to what this might just be?

Answer:

If you guessed Goblin Drink, you are correct.



As this is originally a vegetable based drink, one of the earlier versions passed the taste test of some of our top staff (including Tanaka-P himself), but a majority of the taste testers claimed that it was a bit too vegetable-tasting for their palettes. As a result, the taste was refined so that it would be appealing to a larger amount of people.

Now, if you are familiar with the Goblin Drink recipe, many of you might be wondering about how we went about the Elshimo Newt ingredient. Take a good close look at the picture and you should be able to see a powdery substance floating on the surface of the drink. Well, we went ahead and incinerated…. I kid, I kid! Why would we do that? We wouldn’t want the drink to be some Chinese medicine drink We used another type of powder, which we will disclose at another time, perhaps on the Community Team VanaFest stream.

Are any of you making plans with your friends to watch the stream? Hopefully these posts giving insight to the food will spur some creativity and motivation to make tasty snacks to be eaten while soaking up all the stream content. Some of you have already posted some pretty interesting (and delicious sounding) recipes!

I can go ahead and tell you that Bayohne and I have a lot planned for the Community Team stream during VanaFest, so we both hope everyone is looking forward to it!
