A world of food from A to Z and us

The Prendergast family try a recipe from a different country every night.

South Africa Because the All Blacks are playing South Africa tonight, we thought we'd better eat some of their cuisine. And now we feel like we have rocks in our tummies. We ate Bobotie, which is a kind of curried meatloaf with egg topping. We also had Cape Rice, which is sweetish rice with sultanas. The cool thing about this meal (bobotie) was that Dad took one bite and said "Hey! I recognise this!" Apparently his neighbours when he was a little boy growing up in Auckland were South African and used to invite his family for dinner, and would serve Bobotie! Grant hasn't eaten it in 25 years but recognised it straight away, which is pretty cool. However, it was all a bit too meaty for us, and we don't think we'd like to eat in South Africa every night. Go All Blacks!
