Boerewors (South African sausage) Tasting at The Zebra Crossing
What is
boerewors, I hear you ask?
As you can imagine, not everybody has a South African connection and therefore might be totally oblivious to this very tasty South African delicacy. To directly translate: the name
'boerewors' comes from the Afrikaans word
boere ('farmers') and
wors ('sausage'). It is thought that the recipe for
boerewors might have originated with the early migrants landing on South African soil - possibly with the Dutch coming from the Netherlands.
The unique taste of
boerewors comes from the generous amount of spices that are used, particularly coriander, nutmeg, cloves, allspice and black pepper. But … in saying this, most South Africans would have a traditional recipe, usually passed down through the generations, the contents of which, can be a very tightly-held secret. In other words, not every tasty morsel of boerewors is necessarily the same, with a little bit of this or a little bit of that added, to suit personal preferences.
Now is your opportunity to experience the ever-popular South African
boerewors.
The Zebra Crossing are hosting one of their must-do Boerewors Tastings on Saturday 21 September from 10.00am to 1.00pm, giving visitors plenty of time to be introduced to this 'foreign' delicacy.

Traditional
Sosatie
Garlic
Pepper
Cheese

Chakalaka - Chakalaka is usually a spicy South African vegetable relish, but in this case is now an actual flavour of sausage
