Hey all,

So I recently moved from the UK (about 3 months ago) to SA. I was born here, but I moved to the UK at a really young age.

So now that I ak here, i would like to try some of the delicacies that SA has to offer.

I have not tried anything yet, so I am open to the optons available.

Any suggestions?
 
Droëwors, biltong, tjopies met 'n knoffel broodjie
 
Bobotie
Rusks dunked in tea
Various local biscuits (find a friend with a ouma & an oven)
Soup & vetkoek (with butter and apricot jam)
Snoek braai
 
Steak.

The steak here is miles better than most of the steak you will find in the UK.
 
Bobotie.
Vetkoek and mince.
pap and braaifleis.
hertzogies.
ystervarkies.
Milo, do not skip on the milo.
Marogo with bacon.
Green beans prepared by an afrikaans tannie.
Pampoenkoekies.
matebele pap.

karoo lamb.
White mielies bought on the side of the road cooked over an opoen fire with Aromat.

Aromat


I should not have skipped breakfast this morning....

Which town are you living in now?
 
Mopani worms.

If in cpt.

Gatsby, samosa, root, curry, akhni, briyani
A gatsby is nasty cheap polony, hardly SA's best. Any UK curry will make a local one look very pale in comparison.

Try Koeksisters. The Woolworths ones are not bad.

A decent milk tart. Not from a supermarket if you can help it. It resembles an English custard tart.

Bobotie is very nice. It's a Malay sweet mince curry version of a Shepherd's pie. Derived from a UK dish actually.

Koeksisters from Woolies ? Seriously ?

No man. The real deal can be had from any koeksister-baking aunty, especially on a Sunday morning.
