There are many delicious and traditional foods that are made in South Africa. Africa is known for their braais, which is barbeques. One of their favorite and traditional foods is called bitong, which is strips of dried meat that comes in various flavors and types. Also Potjiekos is a famous slowly cooked meat and vegetable stew. This is tradictionally cooked over a fire. Mielie Pap, which is a familiar diet in South Africa, is stiff corn meal mix. A popular food that is usually always cooked on the braais (barbeque), is the Boerewors, which is a spicy sausage. Some delicious desserts are the melktert and the koeksisters, which are doughy sweet treats. Some of the less familiar foods to us would be the Skop. This might sound appaling to the average American, but this is the head of cow, sheep, or goat. Before the head of these animals is boiled, they are first scrubbed to remove the skin and unneccary parts such as the ears and nose. Here are just a few of the traditional foods made in South Africa!
