RE: Proudly South-African: Beyond the Division
That sure sums us up pretty adequately, now the melktert (milk tart) and other goodies that go with our culture.
Pap en Sous with Wors (Stiff corn porridge and sauce with sausage) have fun, excellent pics and post!
@joanstewart, I am SO following you. You understand the roots of our people. Melktert, and then "melktertjies", some mixture of vodka, conensed milk and cream. THAT is how you end your evening. Right, the "melktertjies" might make you sleepy and going to bed, or it might make you pass out and wondering whatever you did the previous night. No matter, us South Africans know how to party, and we know how to laugh throughout the disasters inside our beloved country.
Thank you for the comment. There is so much about the culture in South-Africa to admire. With the cultural influences in this country, from Indian to African to European. We also cannot forget the brilliance of a "bunny Chow"...
I go into shock without a bunny chow once a week (live down in Durb's) have learned to cook a mean curry as well (Indian friends have taught me well).
One of the highlights was a braai with our African co-workers teaching us their tricks, African men take great pride to get that meat just right. Using chuck, brisket and cheaper cuts, when cooked, start taking off the fire onto a wooden board and cutting small pieces for starters. Only then do they start with club steaks for the plate. with 'pap en sous' and salads.
Wishing you and @minnoloushe a wonderful festive weekend.
I happen to be in Durbs now visiting family... I am struggling to get time online as they have no internet at all. Being able to cook a curry is essential for a South-African. Surprising how popular hot food is...
