Africa Month: A taste of the cuisine the continent has to offer: Celebrate the African ‘year of nutrition’ by getting stuck into some of the tastiest food the continent can dish up.
An online petition, which now has more than 1 700 signatures, was created to have bobotie removed as South Africa’s national dish.
I have not travelled to many African countries but I wanted to try some of these “national dishes” and so experience parts of the continent in South Africa. What better way to celebrate Africa Month than by taking a taste tour and try some of the divisive national dishes? To kick off my mini tour in Johannesburg, I took a short left to Ethiopia. It was my first time eating Ethiopian food, and I was pleasantly surprised. I ate a dish called mahberawi — a veggie-and-meat combo that includes chicken, beef, lamb, pumpkin, cabbage, spinach, potatoes and beetroot, all served onNext stop, Nigeria. I have often eaten one of the most famous dishes from West Africa, jollof rice, so I had to surprise my tastebuds.
Here are some restaurants from three provinces — Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape — that serve food from Ethiopia, South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Morocco, Tanzania and Mozambique. You don’t need a passport, just a healthy appetite. This Ethiopian restaurant is popular for its friendly service, great ambience and, of course, delicious food and generous portions.
Its signature dish is mahberawi. The meal is available in full or half portions and can be enjoyed with white or brown injera. that he has enjoyed Ethiopian food in Addis Ababa and in Ethiopian communities across the United States, but this spot in Johannesburg remains one of his favourites because of its “cozy atmosphere”.
