      Never been to South Africa, but there's a good sized SA community in Scotland so I got a score of 6 in the Quiz. Love the SA approach to food, unfortunately the SA deli in the next village shut down a few years ago. But on the plus side it's made me cook/make all my SA treats from scratch.

    Never forget that pap comes in 3 basic consistencies, "slap" "kleitjie/putu" or "krummel." Can be eaten with milk and sugar, or butter and sugar, or any kind of sauce. Maybe mixed with some sweetcorn, onion, tomato and some spices to make a "papslaai."

      Agreed although I almost feel they would never be able to cover everything.. We are indeed a melting pot of cultures but alot of the well known dishes are Afrikaans or bunny chow from Durban. I am English and can only really claim the braaing or potato salad maybe bobotie but koeksisters milk tart the whole lamb shanks and snoek all Afrikaans.. So when they say us south Africans they speaking for like 4% lol. They all amazing dishes.. But I wish when they talked of "pap" they could've mentioned Zulus have that but it's called Phutu, the tomato relish is chatin.

    So a personal thing that we do with our Snoek is that we brush the snoek with a little bit of lemon, spices and apricot jam/chutney. We put it on tin foil and put it on our braai. The chutney essentially caramelizes on the skin so it gives a nice contrast to the taste of the fish and the sweetness of the apricot. At the end of the day if someone can cook something over a fire we probably already cooked it over a fire.

It brought me right back, taste and smells. God I miss those all evening brais, the first 1½ standing around the fire feeding the fragrant woods into the fire slowly building the heat and coals up enjoying some coke and brandy or just beers. The temperature coming down but staying warm and comfortable it is and was a magical experience and how I do miss it!

    Thank you so So much for not just giving them dry Ouma rusks🤣✊🏻 The whole "with every braai" thing, though... that very seriously depends on the crowd, and can get quite specific. Every family, and every friend group has their "things", and since you can put nearly anything on a braai you usually also go through stages. Sure, there's the pap and wors, but you also get to explore boerie rolls (boerewors on a bun, with ketchup, caramelized onions, or whatever else you like), random wheat/grain salads, the potato salad argument(s), being that person who sneaks fruits and veggies into things until people accept it and ask for it for the next braai, and so on. South Africans can be a pretty contentious group of people, and don't get me wrong, we can have a decent argument on how to braai (we likely have one every time we braai, just cause we can), but the true beauty of braai is how it brings us all together. That felt like such a lame sentence to type, but it's true. It's where we all leave our baggage behind (unless you're that *** who none of us want there but you're married to our friend, so we'll still welcome you cause thats how this works), and just chill, and share, and learn. Whether you can only afford pap and wors (yes, the base reason for it being a staple is its affordable, plus the government actually puts extra nutrients in the pap) or you're pulling out all the stops with the most expensive cut of meat from that butchery none of us have heard of... it really doesn't matter. Raining? You know someone with a lapa or built in braai. Hella sunny? All the trees. Kids? There are braai facilities in parks. Dog person? Yeah the dog parks have them too. In a hurry? Gas (haters, shush). No matter the occasion, it's appropriate. Wedding? Spitbraai. Boom. Braai is vast. Braai is life. Patriotic mike drop✊🏻

If you are going to the national parks definitely winter, not that it is much cooler, but the days are shorter. When I lived there in a nature reserve CNN came on with a UK heatwave, and I asked my colleague when it passed 33C, and he replied at quarter past seven in the morning. Winter, and we were cold, and had jerseys on.

Scientists now say there are more plausible causes of the 'drunkenness', one of which is ingesting a beetle pupae that live in the bark of the marula tree. Apparently this pupae is used by the San people to poison their arrow tips.

This is an authentic Indian Curry, often Mutton Curry, served in a hollowed-out half loaf of white sandwich bread, with the scooped out bread placed on top, and it's served with a tiny grated carrot salad with finely chopped chilies inside. SEE pictures by searching 👉👉 Curry in a Hurry Of course huge ROTIs filled with a choice of many different meat and/or vegetable curries are also extremely popular. ALL THAT FOOD TONIGHT made my mouth water. Especially the boerewors! (Braaied / BBQ'd SA spiced sausage which is ideally braaied in a big roll and not cut into pieces).

    There is one recipe unique to South Africa.... Waterblommetjiebredie! It is a hearty stew. The name comes from the Afrikaans language and literally means 'little water flowers stew or water - lily stew'. It is made of meat, typically lamb, stewed together with the waterblommetjies which are found in the dams and marshes of the Western Cape of South Africa. 👍👌💖
