At first glance, an aspiring student of the culinary arts would jump at the thought: that they might have a chance to put forth their own talents towards a potentially accepted recipe all of Eorzea might come to taste. But wait! Humor?! Since when are a cook's aspirations and dreams a source of comedy and amusement for others?

But no matter! A chance is a chance and a true chef must seize the opportunity! But what is this? As if struck by lightning inspiration arises from past tragedy!

Such as humor elicits laughter from the masses, so does the ill-willed vengeance fueled by one's rancor for past injustice... and what better revenge than to dine on thy enemy!

Of course for this culinarian only one love-hate relationship could fuel the fire for such a meal: Raptors. Oh, how many times one's gut would be 'whomped' by the flailing tail or appetite singed by a fiery breath. But no matter, for now our crystals sear their shanks!

Said shank to the fire and cooked through, the meat is then pulled and chilled while a ring of victory is prepared by way of lettuce and onion. After all, revenge is a dish best served cold, but who is to say that retribution can't be enjoyed in warm comforts? In the middle of the dish is placed a bowl, soon to be filled with the soothing heat of popoto soup; the silky blend prepared with the freshest of popotos, rich chicken broth and a mix of salted butter and creamy aldgoat milk. Once the centerpiece is complete, the frigid villain is decorated upon the green hills of victory which our salad creates and sprinkled with dark vinegar to make it truly a bitter-sweet delight.

And at last: twisted humor blended with aspiring culinary grace. I present to you, Eorzea, my Ravishing Raptor Reprisal!

Cooking is no easy task when it comes to pleasing Hobriaut! So today I will make his Favorite dessert so he can smile again!!!

To make Hobriaut's favorite Rolanberry Dorayaki we will need!:

3 Chicken Eggs
2/3 cups of Maple Sugar
1 tbsp Maple Syrup
1 1/2 cups of Rye Flour
2/3 cup Mineral Water
1 tbsp of Olive Oil
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup of Rolanberry

1) Beat the chicken eggs, maple sugar and maple syrup until it turns almost white.

2) Add 2/3 cup Mineral Water to the flour until your batter becomes smooth.

3) Heat a griddle and wipe with a paper towel dipped in Olive oil. Pour one tablespoon of batter at a time, carefully and slowly, so that you have mini pancakes about 3 inches in diameter. Be sure to turn the pancakes only once, and cook them until they are golden in color. Let cool.

4) Make a paste out of the Rolanberry then put a heaping teaspoon of Rolanberry paste in the center of one pancake. Cover with another pancake. They should look like yummy Pillows!

5) Itadakimasu!

This treat will surely put a smile on Hobriaut's face as well as anyone who's having a tough or sad day! Good luck in the kitchen!

The Buffalo Bonanza

- 3 lbs. of fresh Buffalo Sirlion
- 103 lbs. of Buffalo Beans
- A pinch Sleeping Powder
- A bottle of Clove Oil
- A pinch Black Pepper
- A pinch Table Salt
- 2 Gal. of Buffalo Milk
- Dragon Peppers
- Aloe
- A Bard



First, you must procure a fresh slab of Buffalo sirloin. Not just any will do, however! This most prime of cuts must come from a Buffalo with a positive attitude. After all, a happy Buffalo is a tasty Buffalo! And as we all know, nothing brings happiness like a hearty meal in your belly. To achieve this, you're going to need Buffalo Beans. A lot of Buffalo Beans. I'm talking hundreds and hundreds of beans, laced with a powerful sleeping agent.

Bringing down a Buffalo is no easy feat, either, so you may want to bring a friend or seven along for the ride. They come with the added benefit of being your personal pack chocobos to carry all those beans! Once you have located your belligerent behemoth, you're ready to begin the process of making his day a special one. Make sure to approach him slowly, and begin leaving a trail of Buffalo Beans as you lead him to your waiting party of adventurers who are ready to slaughte- ...err, throw the Buffalo a party! (Party hats are optional and will not increase the flavor of the meat.) Your taste buds will thank you later for the effort!

As the sleeping agent kicks in, the guest of honor will happily doze off to sleep and you are free to harvest your main course! Once this most delectably jubilant meat is in your possession, it's time to hurry back to town!

First we will prepare the meat. Take the Sirloin and gently douse it in clove oil. Next, gingerly sprinkle a pinch of both Table Sat and Black Pepper over the meat, making sure to rub it in. Set it over an open flame, and roast it until the meat is dark and tender.

Once your meat is thoroughly cooked, it's time for the masticating festivities to begin! Serve with a side of Buffalo Beans and Dragon Peppers to really bring this meal to life. A healthy mug of Buffalo Milk also goes great with this blissful Buffalo Bonanza. All that's left is to eat your fill to the joyous tune of the Bard you hired just for this celebration!


...And I suggest having Aloe paste on standby for the eager Adventurer that eats one too many Dragon Peppers.
