      It's not popular here, especially among black south Africans.this Is mainly Afrikaans dish,( 10 percent of the population).it's very misleading to call it the national dish

    Even my British wife loves Bobotie, I have to make it often here in UK. Great tip, next time you slow cook a shoulder of lamb, whatever leftover meat you have use that in your bobotie.

    My mom use to add sliced bananas on top. Not all over, but just a few pieces. The cooked banana was a nice variation.

      That's probably the best we'll get to a common consensus. We all do it differently though. The sides, at least; and a braai isn't complete without the sides. So if braai ever ends up in a book about national dishes, they'd better include all the variations of sides, lest someone feels left out.

    • @BryanDiscoversWorld
      @BryanDiscoversWorld  Год назад

      I agree, all the sides

  • @StAlfonzo87
    @StAlfonzo87 Год назад +3

    Provincial dishes; now there's an idea. We'll never have a consensus for a national dish without a civil war. I'll cast my vote anyway, and it's [un?]fortunately a vuil dite: The gatsby.

    You are supposed to brown your meat first as it caramelises the flavours
