This recipe originates from The Bismarck Culinarian's Guild in the pirate city of Limsa Lominsa. With sailors making port from every corner of Llymlaen's great seas, the Bismarck has had to adopt a hearty menu of seafaring delights. On one particular day, a mountainous sailor (already four bottles of Sour Red deep) bellowed out his disfavor at only eating fish for his current 6 month voyage. "THERE 'AS TO BE SOME'TIN TO EAT IN THIS GALLEY 'SIDES SALT COD!" exclaimed the salty Sea Wolf. Due to his brash nature, none of the servers of the Bismarck would make landfall anywhere near the Roegadyn.
Overhearing the commotion in the café, a lowly sous chef hailing from the forests of Gridania made her approach to the Pirate. "Excuse me..." she said meekly. The buccaneer leaned over the table and frowned at the Lalafell. "WENCH! Bring me some'tin 'sides this dry fish! Eh? Ye ain't a Wench!" Dismissing her he slammed his bottle on the table. "WENCH! Bring me another Wench!" The young chef-to-be rolled her eyes. "If you'd like to calm down a bit, I'd gladly make you something with some of the ingredients from my homeland. It's sure to be more exotic than the fish you are used to eating."
Fifteen minutes later after throwing together some of her favorite ingredients, the Lalafell brought out her Spicy Popoto Tostadas. The rest of the story is in the history books. The dish is a culinary favorite now not only in Limsa Lominsa, but every major restaurant and frontier camp spanning from Gridania to Ul'Dah. The Chef? You can still find her humbly cooking away for pirates and adventures alike in the Bismarck.
