ciao, chao, chow.


Ok, so some of you might be wondering what kind of food we are encountering during our travels. All four of us love to eat, each with his own likes and dislikes. For instance, everyone excluding myself seems to hate biltong; the South African version of beef (or kudu, or buffalo, or mystery!) jerky. One thing we can all agree on however, is that the regional food our area is known for is probably one of the best things we have ever eaten that doesn't come in a tortilla or paired with a Pacifico or Corona. It is called Bunny Chow, and it is probably the silliest named foodstuff I have ever come across. Curry is a huge thing in this region of South Africa due to the heavy Indian population, and you find it everywhere. Bunny Chow transcends the boring ol' curry and rice schtick and hollows out a loaf of bread (or 1/2 depending on your level of hunger) and stuffs it full of some of the gnarliest best-tasting curry any of us have ever eaten. Mutton, chicken, or beef. Darryl just looked over my shoulder while typing this and said he got hungry by reading my words. I agree. Its that good. Check the pic, don't be scared. -S
