Bantha rump

Bantha rump was a type of Wookiee food. Also known as bantha surprise, this rump roast was prepared using cuts of meat from the bantha tenderloin, and stewed in a broth of various seasonings and vegetables native to Kashyyyk. The Wookiee Mallatobuck made one of these once for Life Day. Chef Gormaanda also made one over a transmission, for her viewers to see.

During Life Day of 1.5 ABY, a number of spacers obtained recipes for bantha rump from Saun Dann so that it could be prepared by domestic trader chefs.

Behind the scenes
According to the Star Wars Holiday Special script, the contents of the bowls included: Beef Fillet, Sliced Potatoes, Celery, Jicama, Parsley, Bay Leaves, Garbanzo beans, Radishes, Ginger Roots, Water, Cranberries, and Cooking Oil, as the ingredients.

In the MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies, bantha rump was introduced to the game during the Life Day festivities of 2008. In the game, bantha rump was referred to as bantha surprise, and the recipe could be purchased from Saun Dann using Life Day tokens. The recipe for bantha surprise was once again sold during subsequent Life Day celebrations in 2009 and 2010. It could be made by Domestic Traders, a profession that specialized in the creation of various goods, including food. Domestic Traders took the place of Chefs, after that profession was removed from the game during the so-called "New Game Enhancements" of 2005.
