Today we decided to go into Port Elizabeth. It’s a nice
drive.
They have a Makro store there, which is similar to the Costco stores
back home. They have lots of stuff. I
have been looking for a GPS (needed for the townships so we don’t get lost all
of the time) a back massager (didn’t bring ours and after carrying all that
gravel no price would be too much to pay) and look for some gardening tools. We picked up some food, the GPS, the massager
and also bought a new microwave for Sister Dell.
Ever since our Elders told us about how good one of the
local delicacies were, Janet has been looking to find some and try it herself
(ha-ha-ha).
It seems that here in South Africa if people normally don’t eat
something, they sell it as ethnic food. This was one of those times.
When we learned that we would be going to South Africa, we made
a commitment to try all kinds of different foods while we were over here, but needless
to say we have not, nor will we try this one!!!
On our way we stopped
at a Farm Stall (I think it is an old farm that now has a store, bakery,
restaurant in it) and purchased these rolls that are baked on a Braai
(BBQ). They are warm and we have them
sliced open, butter and jam put on them and eaten like a hot sandwich. They were
wonderful. We learned of these when we
went to Port Elizabeth with the Fowers for the BYU Ambassadors. All in all we
had a pretty nice day.
There are no words... Seriously. Nothin'. ... well, nothing that you want me to write on a public blog, that's for sure!! :) So glad you ddin't end up making this "food" a daily staple!
ReplyDeleteCompletely disgusting....but it sure does put a whole new spin on the gross food offered Barry on his mission...cow tongue. Somehow it doesn't seem so nasty when compared to this delicacy.
ReplyDeleteOh, forgot to mention the outdoor artwork...love it!! Hmmm, maybe I'll just have to use that old door in the garage and make something decorative out of it. Barry's not amused, but I thank you for the inspiration.
