Sizzling Salmagundi of South African Cuisine - TartanSpoon

Afrikaans food consists mostly of red meat cooked on the braai (boerewors, kebabs, steaks, chops), potatoes and/or rice and vegetables.

Dishes include tripe, mielie meal, Amasi and Mopane worms (see these unusual food descriptions below).

It’s a delicacy in some parts of South Africa and considered a bush food in others.

The food is tapas with the Portuguese element taking the centre stage but some great South African dishes like the Dried Wors and Sosaties.

Although this combination sounds unusual, in practice it is rather refreshing.

The South African and South American dishes are deliciously different.
