Seeing as most of you are more than content with the sheer boredom being dished up mainly by South African teams in their quest to “not lose”, let me change the subject to something a bit more spicy.
Article by Brenden
Last night I made what must rank as the 4th best Bunny Chow EVER made. Now considering I live in the Freestate – a good 4 hours away from the spiritual home of the dish – this Bunny is likely to be the best ever made in this province. And this is me being modest.
Got me thinking though…
The ‘colored’ people of South Africa have this great mass produced culinary treat called the “Gatsby”. I have never tasted one but the way they rave over this you’d swear its food heaven. At Newlands you are not allowed to drink, eat, fart or even talk about rugby – but next time I am in the vicinity I am sure to look up a place where a Gatsby can be had.
The Durban Indians ‘manufacture’ the abovementioned “Bunny Chow”, with an Engen Garage close to Umkomaas being said to make the best ‘bunny’ in the province. Word on the street is that you have ‘spuitpoep’ all the way back into Durban but that it’s worth it!
Then the boere weigh in with that national favourite – the boerie roll. From Odendaalsrus to Ermelo, tannies of all ages (these days 14 year old Afrikaans girls also dress and talk like tannies so you never know) for some reason just understand how to assemble the perfect boerie roll. Not too much butter, a good dollop of home-made tomato and onion relish and then they shout: “pappa, is die worsies reg?”
Luckily pappa was just about to top up his Klipdrift so he readily jumps up to take the worsies to mamma. Or in the East rand he might shout back: “ja die goed is reg kom haal – en bring sommer vir my nog `n bier!”
This leaves us with the soutpiele and the darkies. What is the mass produced favorite ‘phakisa’ dish of these ‘peoples’ of our land? A friend reckons the Xhosas will say it’s a “smiley”, which is a sheep’s head. I have heard about the ‘walki talki’ but I don’t know what this is? These chubbie girls in the townships are said to live on a diet of the “kota”, which is a revolting polony-and-cheese type bread-majiggie. Then there is the mamma’s chicken you can buy on street corners in the township. In once on my way into Cape Town took a taxi from Gugulethu and sampled some of this fine braaikos. I was however too inebriated to recall what it tasted like.
So seeing as the maul is perfect, the scrums are a joy to behold, our centre’s are just line- breakers extraordinaire and the props in our backlines are pure poetry – lets maybe discuss the Curie Cup of South African food cultures?

Chakkalakka is pretty lekker
There is a Thai restaurant in Rosebank which has Barbie and Ken dolls swinging from the roof dressed on Bondage clothes and in obscene positions called Cranks
Best Thai in Johannesburg…

Never had a gatsby
Had a Greek cafe Dagwood and Blondie
Poison to the cholestrol but great tasting stuff to poison yourself
Almost every town has a Greek cafe (dwindling in number these days) which makes the best Dagwood or Blondie
Ours is the Panos in Alberton or Funorama Road House

Viennas and chips…then there is Toni’s Pizza in “Die Moot”, Frates Rd, just two blocks away from me.
She has never done any sort of advertisement, it is all word of mouth. She makes the best pizza……EVER!!!!
If you ever found yourself in Pretoorsstad, look up Toni’s before hand, as you need to book a week in advance to get a table. But it is worth it. (Sunday’s and Monday’s closed)
And she is good looking too….http://www.tonipizza.co.za/

I remember in 92 there was a burger shop in Sunnyside. Specialised in not the normal burger you could buy anywhere.
Geesh it was great.

Midrand, just outside Corporate Park where the shops are, look for Bojangles.
Best burger joint in SA. Menu has over 45 burgers you can order from. Patty’s are made to order (rare, medium or well done) and you get 3 sizes, regular, large and super – the super burger feeds a family of 4 I shit you not.
April 7th, 2011 at 1:04 pm
Here is the menu, got some of the sizes wrong but still, this oke makes a damn fine burger. Chilli Whizz is too damn fine…

I might be the only one but i dont experience heart burn from pies, is it really a problem or is it just a urban legend. We have great pies in this area, they were made in Lydenburg, was also called that. Now they do it more commercially and it is called St Pies.

Miskien herhaal ek nou kos hier maar lekker bobotie is my gunsteling.
Nou die dag hier in Hoedspruit by n Pakistani brejani gekoop maar daai was nie lekker nie, die reuk was natuurlik nog great, niks soos lekker Indiese kos nie.

Nou praat julle kéffiekos of kos wat by die huis gemaak word? Lyk my dis sommer so ‘n stukkie van alles! Ek het juis nie mirragete gehad nie, ai…
For a quick bite here the German influence is very noticeable. A kassler or schnitzel brötchen for lunch is devine. En dis brötchens nie blerrie buns of rolls nie!
And why no mention of braaivleis!?!? Morné, amongst others, will no doubt testify that suidevleis is the best. Karoo se m**r, kon nie eers naby nie! Darem min dinge soos ‘n rugtjoppie & ribbetjie soos net my pa hom kan braai nie! En dis alles lam, niks blerrie ouooivleis – slag hom voor hy eers tande wissel.
Dan is daar my ma se rys, vleis & aartappels in die stoompot. Het op skool half g@tvol geraak daarvoor maar nou lek behoorlik die bord uit as ek die slag weer daai eet!

Het vanoggend die blad speserye gegooi (sout, swart peper, asyn/suurlemoensap, worcestershire sous as jy wil) en saam met daai groente in die slow cooker gesit. Koppie of so water, anders raak al die vog weg en die affêre ‘brand’ of raak droog. Dis nie heel dieselle as in die oond nie, maar dis (ge)maklik vir as mens heeldag werk, sport het daarna en nie baie tyd vir kosmaak nie.

Ja, well . . . I suppose there are also people who don’t like biltong.
Still to meet one though.
Must say I’ve also tasted terrible bobotie made in some shops. Ditto samoosas.

Good thread…

You ain’t had a kebab until you’ve been to Melbourne and had a souvlaki…
White wine, garlic, Greek oregano marinated lamb rotiseried ( sic) over mallee root coals and served on fresh pita with salad, chilli sauce and tzatziki and rolled up to order…

Hehehehe.
That souvlaki sounds like the thing I called schwarma.
Haven’t had it in years.
April 8th, 2011 at 7:27 am
There is a schwarma restaurant here in Kempton that does the soft lamb on the rotisserie
Effing awesome
But they’re scummy Israelis… probably run it as a front for something… also do a nice thing with chickpeas…… can’t recall what it is called though… but basically a schwarma with chickpeas…. quite delicious for a vegetarian I should think… I mean even I liked it!

Reply to DavidS @ 7:27 am: Chickpea thing could be hummus, utterly diveine, i make that all the time, you can can it with anything.

I got to my boet’s house last Sunday, he reckons I must help myself to a beer in the fridge, he says there is Castle and Black Label.
I asked; “Is there a difference?”

There’s just no accounting for taste, is there
When in SA I am a Windhoek drinker, a lot better than Castle etc.

Reply to Ollie @ 4:33 pm:
That being said, Black Label is not much different to Stella Artois, Castle is a bit more “chemically” though

Oh, and by the way Brenden, a Walkey Talkey is the chickens head and feet cooked up on the fire.
Used to sell them at the P’nP in Bhisho

Hehehe. The chef at our inhouse cafeteria always referred to a “walkaway and a fly away” when you order a chicken drum
stick and wing.
The only two parts I can actually taste.

Howzit buggers
Popped in for a while and now I see you guys want recipes…
I am doing basically everything here in France – Biltong, koeksisters, boerewors, karoo oesters and all the good stuff – even found a shop in Bordeaux that sells pap…
Only thing that I am missing is potjie kos – can not find a drie been pot here in France – making a potjie on the stove in a dutch oven isn’t really a potjie.
My one friend is coming to visit in a months time and I asked for a potjie so we will see what happens.
A friend of ours who lives here goes to SA once a year and brought us back some Cape Smoke – no PJLD it is not what you are hoping it is… It is eikehout saagsels for smoking meat – they make the barrels here in France – export them to SA – we mature our wine in them and when we are done with them we grind them up and smoke stuff with them – bloody awesome.
Rugby here is going well. But I’m in too much of a Friday mood to get into it right now – at the moment it is 35 degrees – I finished work this morning at 10 – the French have 35 hour work weeks and have taken the wide to the zoo AND brought her back and am now into my second beer – we played a friendly last night and only got home at 11 and I scored a try
(2′nd in 2 weeks) so I will pop back in later. Next week sometime. Got training camp tomorrow – 3 hours canoeing, 1 hour fighter pilot simulation and introduction to close combat by military instructors…
So see ya laters
Cheers
