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!
