In the spirit of Thanksgiving, Square Enix tasked adventurers with delivering a tale of tracking down a monster in Final Fantasy XI to bring to the dinner table for a glorious feast. Today, the winners of this contest have been announced! Toadie of Siren relates his epic quest to prepare the "Suzaku Special", while fellow server adventurer Nivinyraal tells of a meal of various bird delights, his "Vana'dielian Turducken". Lastly, Raseleanne of Fenrir offers up a more sea-faring dish, the "Paralyze Special"! For their efforts, these three won the in-game furniture piece, "Rolanberry Delightaru", as well as the Athena Orb!

To read the full account of these stalwart adventurers and their culinary prowess, a link to the official forums can be found below the break.
