- Thread starter DarthQuell
- Start date
I'm just gonna broadly guess tropical pack and think it'll probably some combo of the following species:
Exhibit: Macaws including at least Scarlet and Blue + Gold, maybe Hyacinth
- Black Howler Monkey
- Coati
- Fossa
- Gaur
- Golden Lion Tamarin
- Javan or Sumatran rhino
- Ocelot
- Red-river Hog
- Sloth sp.
- Sloth Bear
- Spider Monkey sp.
- Tree Kangaroo sp.
Exhibit: Macaws including at least Scarlet and Blue + Gold, maybe Hyacinth
Y'all, the pack has dropped. And, honestly, I think we're all so happy, so because I'm a cool guy (I think), I'll post the recipe here for everybody to have and then a gif (or pics if I can't do the gif) of me eating like every animal in this pack. Bwa ha ha haaaa
Oho, I got the Red River Hog right, so here's my dark sticky ginger cake recipe:
8oz/225g black treacle (molasses work if you can't get ahold of black treacle, but they're not quite as dark and rich)
8oz/225g dark brown sugar
8oz/225g butter
12oz/340g plain flour
2 large eggs
2 heaped teaspoons of ginger
1 heaped teaspoon of cinnamon
2 flat teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda
1/2 pint of milk
-preheat oven to 325F/170C/Gas Mark 3
-line either:
1 shallow tin 13x8inch, or
1 2lb tin, or
2x 1lb tins (I prefer this, because then you can freeze one of the cakes for later)
8oz/225g black treacle (molasses work if you can't get ahold of black treacle, but they're not quite as dark and rich)
8oz/225g dark brown sugar
8oz/225g butter
12oz/340g plain flour
2 large eggs
2 heaped teaspoons of ginger
1 heaped teaspoon of cinnamon
2 flat teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda
1/2 pint of milk
-preheat oven to 325F/170C/Gas Mark 3
-line either:
1 shallow tin 13x8inch, or
1 2lb tin, or
2x 1lb tins (I prefer this, because then you can freeze one of the cakes for later)
- melt butter, sugar & treacle together in a pan
- cool until barely warm (you don't want the eggs to cook when you put them in)
- beat in eggs one at a time
- sift flour, cinnamon & ginger into the treacle mixture
- in a measuring jug, warm the milk a little (you don't want it hot, but you want it slightly above lukewarm. this helps the bicarbonate react better)
- add the bicarbonate of soda to the warm milk
- stir into the cake mixture, mix well
- pour contents into the tin(s)
- bake for ~40 minutes or until you can skewer the cake and the skewer comes out clean
- cool in tin

You forget the part where you mention to double the recipe for seconds
So about that promise
There’s a funny video of a guy imitating how animals eat
Your gif should be slowly eating the brownies like a sloth, messy nasty eating like a RRH, and get creative with the others

3 out of 5, not bad, not bad
I will attempt, just got back from a hot day of work. Forums sometimes prevent gifs, so worst case is I'll either upload privately to YouTube or post it through a Google link and send it that way...
Now for the recipe. Let me find it and I will send it here....

Quellian Brownies
Now y'all this is the important part. If you want fudgy, chewy brownies, leave them at room temperature. They can last up to 3 days.
For harder brownies, place them in fridge to cool down. The 1st batch was the former, chewy ones (I prefer these). 2nd batch was harder
This was a copycat cosmic brownie recipe that I tweaked because I didn't have all the original ingredients, so feel free to change it up however y'all want. I hope that they're good
Ingredients
Brownies
- 10 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon imitation vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
- 1 cup sugar dissolved in ¼ cup warm water (corn syrup substitute)
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Frosting
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- Sprinkles
Directions
Brownies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-by-8-inch metal baking pan with parchment or foil and spray with cooking spray.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter for about 90 seconds on high power. Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder. If still very hot, let cool slightly before adding in the vanilla, eggs and egg yolk, and corn syrup. Stir until very well combined.
- Add in the flour and cornstarch and stir until just combined. Batter will be thick.
- Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan.
Frosting
- Place the cream in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Add in the chocolate chips. Let stand for 3 minutes before stirring until smooth.
- Pour over the cooled brownies and smooth evenly. Sprinkle with the sprinkles. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or until the frosting is set, before cutting.

I will be saving this for later. If it's like ginger snaps, I know it'll be good
I'm sorry imitation WHAT , I'm disappointed you don't personally travel to Madagascar and find the purest vanilla extract there is (or go to Costco like I do
)Sorry man, but when I use the pure stuff, there isn't flavor, it all evaporates because of the alcohol in it. Plus, bakers like me use imitation vanillaI'm sorry imitation WHAT , I'm disappointed you don't personally travel to Madagascar and find the purest vanilla extract there is (or go to Costco like I do
Ha I always 'forget' to measure my extract. I just know the amount for flavour ..... Not that I'm adding 2 tablespoons of extract into my cakes....
Ok, little secret, but I add vanilla extract to milk for a kick if vanilla flavor. I don't find vanilla milk often, so I have to make it myself
@DarthQuell imas the list creator its your discretion who's the winner of the pack too. As much as I'd like to follow your example and let everyone shate the prize I can only splurge for one pack.
Nah you just gotta order it fossa black market. They k ow the best way to get the stock.I'm sorry imitation WHAT , I'm disappointed you don't personally travel to Madagascar and find the purest vanilla extract there is (or go to Costco like I do
It's very very very tough.
The 2 closest are @Captain Callum and @Aramar.
Here are the notes:
- They both got 3/5 animal guesses right (everybody else got 2/5)
- Aramar guessed the RRH, fossa, and Lars gibbon
- Cap guessed the RRH, fossa, and brown throated sloth
- Aramar guessed it as an Exploration pack, Cap guessed it as a Rainforest pack
- Cap also stated that the color would be dark green, and that's pretty much what we got
So, the winner is....
