What is this a recipe for?
Carefully slice the forgiveness into 6 even pieces
Apply a generous amount of Angola extract
Optionally sprinkle a small amount of digits
Whisk with a stick
Serves one
Hint 1:
Angola extract = extract the Angola
Hint 2:
The digits are actually optional.
Hint 3:
Whisk with a stick = mix the characters and they go with a stick
The recipe is for
Driving (a car with an automatic transmission), which also fits the "going places" hint in the title.
Slicing forgiveness into six pieces:
p-a-r-d-o-n
Extracting Angola:
Angola's TLD is .ao, removing a and o leaves p-r-d-n
Whisk with a stick:
Mix the letters to get P-R-N-D for Park, Reverse, Neutral and Drive, which go along a gear stick
Optional digits:
Some gearboxes provide a mode for limiting the transmission to only some of the lowest gears, those options are marked with small digits.
Serves one
The driver is (hopefully) the only person to operate the gear stick.
The answer is
Saresa or aratalis fruit
Because:
I didn't get the part with 6 pieces, so I went forward. If you add Angola extract from forgiveness you'll get (get rid of same letteres and add the rest):
FRIVEESSALA
Digits are optional, so we get rid of them too. From frivessala you can get FIVE. We'll get rid of it and receive RESSALA. Now we mix with a stick and l in ressala looks like a stick. We mix it, letters follow the the stick and get SARESAL. Then we take the stick out, as we don't want to eat it and we get SARESA. Also, the fruit is small, perfect for serving one.
Well, a partial answer, I guess, it is a sort of
... CUISINE
As,
Forgiveness = E X C U S E
And
Then take suitable letter combinations from Angola and digits like N,__, __, __, __ (from Angola) and I, I (from digits) and rearrange them
to get
.... CUISINE
Here is my 2nd answer:
It could be a
Padŕon,
Which is a kind of dish that can serve one and served on /with a stick.
Here is a reference (refer item #16)
And the explanation is
Forgiveness is P A R D O N and the dish name can be arrived at by rearranging the letters and adding other stuff such as eggs, and its link to Angola to be explored.
The answer is
Pride
because:
Slice the forgiveness into 6 even pieces
A six letter synonym for forgiveness is "pardon." Slicing this into six pieces gives "P-A-R-D-O-N."
Apply a generous amount of Angola Extract:
Remove letters in "Angola" from the letters in "P-A-R-D-O-N" to get "prd."
Optionally sprinkle a small amount of digits
digits = fingers, and we happen to have five of those on one hand. The fifth letter of the alphabet is "E" which added to the end gives us "prde."
Whisk with a stick
Throw an "I" in there because it looks like a stick and we get "pride."
Serves one
Pride is good for no one but yourself in most cases. If you are too prideful for example, you may hurt others while boosting your own ego.
