Coloured South African Food
Lindsay Johns introduces us to the South African food he knows the best, including snoek, pickled fish, mince and cabbage stew, and the Gatsby steak sandwich.
Writer and broadcaster Lindsay Johns explores the food of South Africa.
South African cuisine is as varied as South Africa itself, and in this set of Essays, Lindsay will delve into the foods of the Rainbow Nation for five personal and lyrical ruminations on what these foods evoke for him. Each Essay - covering one of South Africa's racial groups - offers distinct memories of different aspects of his many experiences in South Africa. We'll sample the different cuisines, and experience these nuanced and complex communities through Lindsay's eyes, ears, and taste buds.
For his third Essay, Lindsay will describe the cuisine he knows, and loves, the best: Cape Coloured cuisine. We'll learn about snoek (barracuda), pickled fish, mince and cabbage stew and the Gatsby steak sandwich. It is, he says, the quintessential poor man鈥檚 fusion cuisine - and the most under-rated and overlooked food in the whole country.
