You've clearly never been to a FanFest. Watching tweets and a few videos is nothing compared to actually being there.

The worst part for me will be not being there so I can buy all the merch they have. I need more for my collection ; ;

• Kazham Pepper = ?
• Mhaura Garlic = ?
• Wild Onion = ?
• Cockatrice Meat = ?

My extraordinarily fat guess is:

The two end pieces are chicken, with one piece of possible chicken in the middle that might be different than the other two. It may be duck, or it may just be thigh meat while the other two pieces are breast meat.

Green peppers of an unknown variety; I have no idea what kind of peppers grow in Japan and are frequently used in food there. I know bell peppers are common, but those look too round and vaguely phallic to be bell pepper slices.

White onion is pretty obvious. It looks like there's a big chunk of roasted clove of garlic on the end. I hope for the sake of whoever is eating those things that the cook does an okay job cooking the garlic, whole pieces of garlic can weird off-tastes if cooked too briefly or too long.

The secret ingredient is neither love nor hatred, but deranged indifference. This most secret of seasonings tastes kind of like the flop-sweat from Joker's green hair as he feels totally empty inside after triumphing over Batman. It blends surprisingly well with the subtle heat from green peppers.

Does it raise your attack IRL too?

I suspect do not provide an attack bonus in real life, however, the announcements from the Development Bros might.

If battle events occur in real life, Community Bros, we will keep you in our thoughts. My advice is to hide behind the fattest person you see who is not vigorously imitating a windmill.

Hvinire doesn't work solely with the XI and XIV Community Team anymore. He's now a Community Manager for all of Square Enix NA and in charge of the SE Members Blog.

Yeah I'm not dead yet, in fact I just posted about this on the Square Enix Members Blog.
I'm very jealous and hungry after reading about that mithkabob.

I have the Spamalot soundtrack playing through my head now. I blame you

[Karbuncle]

I remember Stocking up on Mithkabobs back in 2003-4 (Ish? Been too long.. i Dont remember...), Back before Chains of Promathia... I was in Kazham, their Auction House was linked to god knows where back then, and Mithkabobs/Chiefkabobs were the best food ever...

I hate time >:\

let see if my time zones are right The VanaFest is 23rd and 24th but since they're ahead of us that means its 22nd and 23rd for people in NA. That means the Live Stream will Start 5:00~5:30pm PST on June 22nd since that the saturday morning of 23rd in japan, Right?

Unless I'm going stupid or something
