(and it has to be Koo of course) Yip, miss the good old 'proper' braai, cannot quiet get my head around the gas barbie.....nice enough - but heck, it does not beat a wood fire, that smell and of course the heat coming from it, socially much better and longer, as with the BBQ, it is all over way too soon..... Enjoy your guests! It is indeed a small world.Erica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamara HDU Posted June 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Sorry, the best boerewors in the world (including South Africa!) is at Springbok Delights in Sydney. Really?!Did you ever taste the boerewors from Morris's butcher in Long Street Cape Town?Is there anywhere decent in Adelaide to buy boerewors from? I have noticed that some of the Woolworths have started selling what they lable "boerewors" but it isn't!We were in New Zealand earlier this year and i was surprised by the amount of South African food you could buy in the local supermarkets. The girl on the checkout asked us where we were from in SA because we were buying Simba chips and wine gums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nomadalien Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Anybody knows what snoek is in english? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 According to Wiktionary, the word snoek is derived from: "Afrikaans from Dutch zeesnoek 'sea pike'". Wish I were in Adelaide to buy some - yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annette Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Boerewors = Brian's Gourmet foods, Jetty rd Glenelg $8.99 a kilo. He also make very good biltong, but only by request and only occasionally. Snoek = Snook, available at almost any fish markets in Adelaide and of course off the jettys . It's the same fish as the Cape snoek, but they tend to be smaller here. Don't freeze it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerakinoz Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 There is also a Barossa Fine Foods at the Central Markets and in the Newton shopping centre have not tried the boerewors though but buy my meat from them and must admit there duck and veal sausages are my favorite at the moment!!
