African Street Food


The Gatsby 

A Cape Town favorite, Gatsbys are mostly found at halal stands or food outlets. It’s a simple sandwich of a baguette filled with hot fries (called “chips” in South Africa), curried meat, hot sauce, pickles or just about any sandwich filling you like.


The Boerie Roll 

South Africa’s version of a bratwurst, this hearty treat is sold at kiosks and grills on carts in just about any busy urban area where shoppers will be hungry from walking. This is a spicy sausage on a bread roll with tomato and onion mix, ketchup and mustard. The sausage is ground up with nutmeg, coriander, cloves and other spices that create a delicious aroma coming from the braai. The sausage is often served with corn pap (similar to porridge) and a tomato sauce.

Australian Food

Fish 'n' chips by the beach Australia has some of the best seafood in the world and that means you’re almost guaranteed fresh fish, served with salt and lemon, wrapped in yesterday’s newspaper or white wrapping.  Barbecued snags Nothing is more Australian than getting friends or family together for a barbecue. And at the heart of any good barbie is a selection of good Australian snags -- from the traditional pork or beef, to those flavored with herbs and spices from around the world. There’s something homey about a snag in a roll or a slice of bread covered in your favorite sauce, perhaps with some fried onion on top and some spuds on the side. A sausage sizzle put on outside the local hardware store on Sundays makes a bit of DIY that much more appealing.
