But what culinary delights will our lads be tucking into during the tournament? Here’s our guide to South African cuisine. Pap is a traditional staple food, a dish made out of maize, similar to corn meal, and is eaten like rice or noodles in other cultures. Pap can be firm or crumbly and can be eaten for breakfast with milk or sour milk and sugar. It is also served with a savoury sauce, or tomato and onion stew and with barbecued or stewed meat or chicken. Other South African foods and dishes Amasi, sour milk Biltong, a salty dried meat (similar to jerky) Bobotie, a dish of Malay descent, is like meatloaf with raisins and with baked egg on top, and is often served with yellow rice, sambals, coconut, banana slices and chutney Boerewors, a sausage that is traditionally braaied (barbecued) Bunny chow, curry stuffed into a hollowed-out loaf of bread Frikkadelle - meatballs Gesmoorde vis, salted cod with potatoes and tomatoes and sometimes served with apricot jam Hoenderpastei, chicken pie, traditional Afrikaans fare Mala Mogodu, a local dish equivalent of tripe.
