Delicious food
Many foreign influences, such as those from Europe and Asia, can be found in South African cuisine thanks to colonialism. They go beyond the usual beef and pork and offer some of the best meat in the world. Ostrich, spring rolls, and if you're lucky, kudu, are all popular dishes that can be found on many menus. South Africa also produces a lot of beer, and SAB's World of Beer tour in Johannesburg is arguably the top tourist destination in the country.
Traditional South African sausage known as "boerewors" is made with beef, hog, lamb, and a variety of spices. Similar to the Cumberland sausage, boerewors are generally served in a coiled shape and cooked on a braai (barbecue). The Afrikaans and Dutch terms boer (farmer) and wors are the roots of the word boerewors (sausage). In addition, an authentic braai, or shisa nyama ('burn the meat' in Zulu), is a culinary experience not to be missed if you want to get a true flavor of South Africa. The tradition of braais began in the townships of Johannesburg, where butchers would cook their meat on barbecues in front of their stores on the weekends and sell it to passersby. Local communities now get together on the weekends for food sharing at braais.
