My OH was born in South Africa when his parents were both working over there. They moved back when he was ten (1977!!)
We are going to stay with them next week and as it has been a tramatic year for FIL (health wise) we would like to cook something special for them on a SA theme.
FIL isnt able to have anything too spicy. Always have Biltong and Boerewors from a local shop with us anyway.
Any idea would be great and money saving if poss!
thanks

me! I grew up in Zims and Pietermartzburg (Natal). We came back to the UK in 1993 after I had finished Matric (6th form). How about making Melk tert or my absolute favourite koeksusters? All the main meals I remember are spicy so I can't help there sorry.July Win: Nokia 58000
