If you are from South Africa what are 3 dishes that best represent your country?
Because South Africans come from so many different backgrounds and cultures, it is difficult to pinpoint just three dishes but for the Afrikaans people the dishes would probably be : bobotie - a minced meat dish with an eggy custard topping; boerewors - a spicy sausage which is cooked on a 'braai' or barbeque and potjie kos which is a special meat stew cooked in a three legged pot which is placed into hot coals for several hours. In the Zulu culture, three representative foods would be pap/samp which is a thick cornmeal porridge eaten with almost every meal, morogo which is a spinach based dish and matebelekwane which is steamed bread.
