Cooking

When Eiko invites Zidane and co. over for dinner, you get to control a little "mini-game" with her, making some cooking decisions. As far as I know, there are no major rewards or penalties for your choices in this section; the only differences I've noticed are a few remarks during the dinner conversation, and Quina's praise.

Eiko sings a little song as she puts the water on for the stew. Here are the words:

Potato, potato
Pumpkin bomb
Lots and lots of nuts

Get the water goin'
A good shake o' salt

Potato, potato
Pumpkin bomb
Another shake o' salt

Lots and lots of nuts
An oglop for seasoning

At one point, the moogle that Eiko sends to go fishing will pull up something much larger from the water--a certain gourmand of the Qu tribe, in fact. Quina then teaches Eiko some very important cooking lessons, as outlined in the dialogue below. (Dialogue variables may, of course, vary)

Quina
The heat too low.

Eiko
You can cook!?

Quina
Is my destiny to pursue way of gourmand!

Eiko
Th-this must be a helper from above!

Quina
Hrm...
I know how many people live in this village.
Is Zidane's group, the moogles, and me make 11 people.
You make food for 12 people now.
Is too much water...
This heat only strong enough to make food for 9 people.
Was not possible to make enough for everyone.

Eiko
NOOOOOO!

Quina
I teach you very important lesson in cooking.
Always make more than you need.
Maybe more people show up.
Maybe your guests very hungry.
You correct to make food for more than 10 people!
This your only ingredient for stew?

Eiko
Mocha went to dig up some rock-fisted potatoes.

Quina
Is problem now with heat. How we get more heat?
Hmm...
Ah! I know!
I know black mage.
I ask him make fire.
