When visiting family during our holiday, we were treated with all kinds of “typical South African” food…which was really nice…..Potjie Kos…biltong, pap-dis (which only South Africans know… a kind of side dish), ….a PROPER BBQ! (or 2…or 3 or even 4! hehehe)…. and my favourite…boerpampoen!…(picture with next post) I have to add that this was dished-up in the kitchen due to the iron pot!

Food ready in the iron pot… See this site

See MORE recipes here.

On this picture above, you can see samp

, which is tasty when served the Potjie Kos – even rice can be served with it. I like both.

And….a proper BBQ! Steak, chops, and the next picture…chicken….and a sandwich (whitebread!) with tomato/cheese and loads of onions! Yummy!

hmmmm…….!!
