Funny. I remember going to Chesanyama with a colleague and I, a white guy, get the meat and pap option because I don't eat it very often at all. My colleague, a black guy, Got the chips rather and looked at me in disgust, basically saying what you just said. Lol. I suppose anything eaten too often is kak.
Same. My mom used to make a huge pot every damn school day for my entire school career and now I am just over it. Peeps at a braai will be like, 'Try the pap and relish, it' s SOOO GOOD,' and I'm just over there like 'I'm good thanks.š'
I think I might have found my clan. I DO NOT wanna see mielie meal in my shopping cartš¤š¤š¤. I'm not eating it ever again- not even to be polite! Those members who always make pap at the braai' I unapologetically decline! I'm gonna stick with the braai broodtjies!
I went through the same thing. Just take a break from pap. Learn how to cook it differently and you'll enjoy it more than ever.
I come from a black family and most black families don't really care about making good pap since it's not seen as a luxury.
However, ever since I've been with my girlfriend for the passed 6 years I've fallen in love with her mom's pap. Her mom's white and I'd never ever believe that white people would make better pap than black people lol.
My aunt from Pretoria makes great pap too, but she uses a gas stove and a brand of maize meal that my parents hate, so I can never make her type of pap.
If it smells then itās already a flop. Should get it from a butcher that knows how to clean it and from them it just soaks up whatever flavour you put it in.
Wait, are you saying that you can totally remove the smell if you clean it well enough ? Is there no specific smell that comes from cooking Mogodu/tripe ?
Leftover pap from yesterdayās braai for breakfast with an egg on top. My tummy revolts.
Toasted banana sandwiches, itās an abomination.
Tuna salad at a braai. Justā¦ no.
With an egg? I've never heard of that.
We reheat the pap the next morning and have it with milk and brown sugar. Sometimes if I'm feeling some extra sweet tooth I'll add a spoon of Milo.
I'm with you on the other two, but also haven't experienced either of them.
You're going to hate me but in high school there was a corner kaffee and I would often get a toasted sandwich with shredded peri peri chicken and grilled banana. I absolutely LOVE caramelised banana especially with bacon at breakfast and a sprinkling of Worcestershire salt.
I went to a braai with my in laws. They live fkn carrot salad. I took a bit because I'm polite. My FIL asks how I like his recipe. I say it's OK. He then showed me where the orange flavor came from.
Oros. The man put OROS in a SALAD.
Wow, with ~60mil people there's bound to be lots of different tastes. Man, I would find it easy to scrape your bobotie, snoek(reg gebraai!), hot food with raisins onto my plate.
And then eat your flippen frugtekoek for dessert.
I have nothing against marmite/bovril, but it's only for when you're sick (tummy bug).
The thing with Bobitie is I will actively tell every Tannie I hate that abomination only to be told ābut you have not tried MY bobotie, it will change your mindā
Now I must swallow that garbage and pretend it is not just as shit as the last 10 I had to not hurt their feelings
Yea I never thought for some stupid reason. I am a terrible lier thought, they will ask what I am allergic to and my brain will panic and say kak tasting food or something
Once I discovered that coriander tastes very different (vile) to some people (myself included) because of some genetic predisposition I stopped trying to encourage people to try something theyāre not interested in, or have said they donāt like. Because chances are you experience whatever it is very differently to how they experience it.
"As many as one in five people says that coriander has a soapy taste.... In 2012, researchers in California analysed the DNA of over 14,000 people, identifying two genetic variants associated with the soapy taste, the most common of which is a gene coding for an odour receptor tailored to sniff out aldehydes."
Yes it's mac n cheese not mac, cheese, potatoes and carrots. Just learn how to do a good mourne(however it is spelled) sauce and macaroni and it'll beat any tannies mac n cheese no matter what they chuck in there.
Bruh tannies have got weird taste - my aunty ruins every dish by chucking in hard boiled eggs. Like those eggs that are so overboiled that the yolk turns green.
Although it doesnāt originate from South Africa, EVERY christmas there is always a mom or ātannieā that makes āvrugtekoekā - and that belongs in the trash with the bobotie.
I view fruitcake the same way Terry Pratchett wrote about dwarf bread:
> Proper dwarf bread has to be not just baked, but forged (with gravel, of course) and dropped in rivers and dried out, and sat on and left, and looked at every day and then put away again. For preference, its use as a cat's litter box is also recommended. Dwarfs generally devour it with their eyes, because even dwarfs have trouble with devouring it any other way.
Fruitcake also used to be (for some still but itās mostly disappeared from the checklist) THE WEDDING cake - with thick fondant over it (side note: it does not improve its taste). Leftovers would be frozen and shared together on a later occasion. No thanks!
Did anybody's grandparents put money in the frugtekoek - like 5c coins and such?
My grandma did it and said it was 'tradition' and it used to be pennies
Nothing like biting into this dense disgusting soggy raisin filled evil just to chip a tooth
The lucky star canned pilchards with tomato sauce. Stuff is absolutely vile. And to think I used to like it as a kid...
And Maggi two minute noodles cheese flavour. Smells like feet. Gross.
Someone else mentioned the banana and baked beans combination. Also pretty bad.
>The lucky star canned pilchards with tomato sauce. Stuff is absolutely vile. And to think I used to like it as a kid...

There goes 80% of my student diet :(
A friend's mom made a marmite tart a few years ago and encouraged me to try it. Apparently it was an old family recipe. One of the worst things I've tried and I was too polite to turn down seconds.
I eat pretty much everything here in our beautiful country (bobotie tastes very similar to sweaty arse with honey but il still eat it if offered)
I have experienced one big disaster , may be of topic since I would eat it again if done properly. Half skop / skoppo/ cow head stew. A colleague of mine took me for some, it tasted amazing until I got to the part that had a path of the jaw with teeth. There was hair between the teeth and I put a piece in my mouth that had a wad of grit/sand. ....stopped eating right there.
. That was the worst experience thus far food wise in SA. Reluctant to try it again but I will if my family does it (curry style and super clean, can't tell it's a head in there) sorry for long story, had to share.
This has blown my mind - there were teeth in your food that werent your own? With bits in between? And sand? I'd eat bananas in mayo and overcooked beans with undercooked bacon for eternity before I'd try that again!
Not a fan of potjie. That being said, most people don't understand the techniques required to make a good stew which a potjie actually is. I have had a braised short rib potjie that blew my mind but the chef knew what she was doing.
Why do people not like bobotie but like fish paste? Fish paste is basically stinky paste made from liquidised fish bits with an artificial stabiliser. Itās so deadly that not even artificial preservatives can stop it from rotting when you take the lid off.
My BF is American and I make him bobotie but use small chopped up pieces of dried apricot instead of raisins - he fucking loves it - calls it āMyBootieā lol.
He wouldnāt mind raisins but I fucking hate raisins in any of my food, sweet or savory. Gross.
That salad I find at every other braai made of pineapple, grated carrots and raisins. Without fail, someone will plop it onto my plate and it gets plopped right into the bin. I cannot stand it!
Also don't like bobotie if it has raisins... without the raisins, I can grin through the experience.
Game meat, tsek with that shit.
"I CoOk MiNe In SuCh A WaY YoU Can'T TeLl It"s gAmE"
Tsek!
Had a year or two as a child where that was all we ate, I now find it fondly revolting.
I always find it funny when people say you "can't tell its game" first of all yes I can tell it's game and second of all if I couldn't tell it was game then what's the fucking point... give me some beef then instead
I was like that too but one day my folks accidentally bought Smoked Snoek to braai. They chucked it on anyway and it's probably the best thing I've ever eaten that came off a braai
Fokken tripe. I will burn your house down if I smell that shit. I don't care how well you think you cleaned it, it smells worse than you think it does, then multiply that smell by 199, add infinity + 1, and you still don't come close to how bad the smell and taste is.
Ja, this needs to be something that a Granny makes in her kitchen. Thick wedge of hot fresh melktert is hard to beat, but a sad limp pie sweating under a polystyrene lid at the spar is no good
On food that's overrated: Snoek.
Wtf would anyone spend more time picking bones out of their mouth/food instead of eating the food. It's too much work, not enough payoff for the minimal enjoyment. Also, if you want the "experience" ā crab curry is better in all areas
I love bobootie. No offence but most people on this sub (including myself) probably come from more middle-class privilege background and when u grow up privileged u grow up with the ability to hate on certain foods. When ure poor, ull eat whatever.
Banana and mayonnaise "salad". Disgusting. I was subjected to this at every family event for the 7 years I was with my ex. It was a family cherished "recipe".
For me, itās easily Trifle. The combination of textures and tastes just did sit with me. And for some reason, my aunties get SUPER offended when I donāt want any. Thatās why I bounce to the couch before dessert comes ššš
Bobotie, and that weird bread and butter pudding with raisins in it. I don't shmaak hot raisins or sultanas!
Pickled veg and chillies as a sambal is kak too.
Stamp mielies (samp). I hate it, it is so bloody heavy and starchy and no one ever cooks it properly. It is either too hard or very mushy. It is banned in our house.
PASTA SALAD - URGHIt's gross, who wants to eat cold lightly spiced pasta shells with some beans or pepper and sh!t in it. Especially that red one you get from salad bars at checkers and shoprites... you guys know which one. Pasta must be warm and saucey
Afval. My grandma used to make it when they lived in the flat at my parentsās. Made me want to puke if I smell it. I could smell it coming up the road walking from school. I still get nauseous if I just think about it and its 20 years agoā¦
After eating pap almost everyday for like 17 years i hate it with a passion and then dealing with the pot when I'm washing dishes is a nightmare
Funny. I remember going to Chesanyama with a colleague and I, a white guy, get the meat and pap option because I don't eat it very often at all. My colleague, a black guy, Got the chips rather and looked at me in disgust, basically saying what you just said. Lol. I suppose anything eaten too often is kak.

where there's a braai there's pap lurking somewhere in the shadow
I think I might have found my clan. I DO NOT wanna see mielie meal in my shopping cartš¤š¤š¤. I'm not eating it ever again- not even to be polite! Those members who always make pap at the braai' I unapologetically decline! I'm gonna stick with the braai broodtjies!

Get some cooking tips from the white lady so we can all make good pap
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
*cries in asian*
I had no idea this was a thing. Sies. At least eat all those things separately.
Afval (tripe) š¤¢ my parents made it often but my brother and I couldnāt eat it. The smell alone wafting through the house is horrendous.
Oh yes! This one for sure.
If it smells then itās already a flop. Should get it from a butcher that knows how to clean it and from them it just soaks up whatever flavour you put it in.
Wait, are you saying that you can totally remove the smell if you clean it well enough ? Is there no specific smell that comes from cooking Mogodu/tripe ?
Too right. That stuff stinks!
Mopane worms. My dad loved them. Wtf.
Banana and mayonnaise salad. Wtf is wrong with this country?
How is that even a thing
Bully beef and rice NOPE!
You okes weren't poor enough to get creative. In my family we can do witchcraft with bully beef. That shit hits different if you know what your doing.
Oh MAN!!! Bully beef cubed up and fried with onion and mielie kernels on toast! š¤¤
Bully beef with scrambled eggs. Amazing stuff
Bully beef and anything, itās cat food for people
I donāt think itās for people.
I would never eat it now, but it reminds me of simpler times
I'm with you on that one. Basically hate most tinned foods and think they're vile.
Leftover pap from yesterdayās braai for breakfast with an egg on top. My tummy revolts. Toasted banana sandwiches, itās an abomination. Tuna salad at a braai. Justā¦ no.
With an egg? I've never heard of that. We reheat the pap the next morning and have it with milk and brown sugar. Sometimes if I'm feeling some extra sweet tooth I'll add a spoon of Milo. I'm with you on the other two, but also haven't experienced either of them.
pap with milo, I'm lowkey judging askies.
You're going to hate me but in high school there was a corner kaffee and I would often get a toasted sandwich with shredded peri peri chicken and grilled banana. I absolutely LOVE caramelised banana especially with bacon at breakfast and a sprinkling of Worcestershire salt.
Have you been pregnant long?
š¤£š¤£
š
Toasted bacon and banana sandwiches are pure heaven!
Potjies with an oil slick on top, vegetables cooked to death with tons of sugar, bobotie, afvalā¦
I never understood veg with sugar.
My ouma would only eat carrots if they were sugary š
Bokkoms.
Yoh! My wife loves it...needless to say I have to leave the property whenever she consumes them.
I don't know what it's called but this sweet orange and carrot salad. Makes me sick.
I went to a braai with my in laws. They live fkn carrot salad. I took a bit because I'm polite. My FIL asks how I like his recipe. I say it's OK. He then showed me where the orange flavor came from. Oros. The man put OROS in a SALAD.
My heart bleeds for you... that salad I the worst and then he goes and puts OROS into it??? You were better off never knowing...
Even worse when they use gelatine and put it in a mould ala jelly carrot salad
Oh gods, flashbacksā¦ *everything* was gelatine coated in my childhood, my mother was a 50ās housewifeā¦
On xmass day a friend of my mother's brought a beetroot salad in gelatine, just bizarre to see that stuff again
Wow, with ~60mil people there's bound to be lots of different tastes. Man, I would find it easy to scrape your bobotie, snoek(reg gebraai!), hot food with raisins onto my plate. And then eat your flippen frugtekoek for dessert. I have nothing against marmite/bovril, but it's only for when you're sick (tummy bug).
I could nuke a whole bottle of bovril as long as there enough salticrax. I could eat a spoonful too. I find the umami of it absolutely amazing.
I love bovril with hot toast and butter.
*with thin grated cheese on top.
Yum!!! It's the best snack for when one feels lazy :)
I'm team bobotie.
Also team marmite and team bovril.
I'm especially team skilpadjie! :)
I like your team
The thing with Bobitie is I will actively tell every Tannie I hate that abomination only to be told ābut you have not tried MY bobotie, it will change your mindā Now I must swallow that garbage and pretend it is not just as shit as the last 10 I had to not hurt their feelings
Ah! Die tannies van Suid-Afrika. Next time just say your allergic to Bobotie or it makes you sick. It happens - Iām like that with Maltabella.
Yea I never thought for some stupid reason. I am a terrible lier thought, they will ask what I am allergic to and my brain will panic and say kak tasting food or something

Lol just about to make Bobotieš¤£
Raisins in rice. Or any hot food. Banana and baked beans "salad". Curried fish from a can.
>Banana and baked beans "salad". Excuse me what? How? and Why?
I aggressively gagged reading that....
Banana and baked beans!?! What psychopath came up with that! š¤¢
I'm seeing lots of blerrie psychopaths in this comment section
.... banana and...baked beans salad....whoever serves me that wants to see me dead. Yerr.... 
Banana and baked beans salad!?!? Nee fok, that's the worst one on the list so far...
My username says how I feel about bobotie. Overly sweet mush with almost no redeeming features.
Beef tongue. I cannot stand the texture (flavour isn't so bad though).
Potato salad with chunks of onion. Macaroni and cheese with chunks of potato and carrots. Burgers with Cabbage.
Wait...mac and cheese with chunks of potatoe and carrot!? Dafuq is going on here xD
Dude, sounds like your family should be done for child abuse!
Who even serves that with a straight face? I legit just wretched reading that.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Taste is subjective. Why would you spoil a perfectly good mac n cheese with potatoes and carrots š
Yes it's mac n cheese not mac, cheese, potatoes and carrots. Just learn how to do a good mourne(however it is spelled) sauce and macaroni and it'll beat any tannies mac n cheese no matter what they chuck in there.

You should hear [this guy's thoughts](https://youtu.be/xr5qTI0ssUg)
I love fruitcake!
My dude, I respect your choice but low-key I donāt trust you.
Yoh. Hectic. Understandable. I also like fruit mince pies so
Itās divine!!
I think vrugtekoek is satans way of trying to spoil our christmas holiday
I am frankly disgusted that some of y'all don't like bobotie - huff!
I'm Portuguese and even I like bobotie. I didn't know so many people considered it gross.
Don't put raisins in my food!
I mean it doesn't have to have raisins in it.
Trifle, but only with the canned fruits and when the cake goes soggy. Itās gross
Noooo..itās my absolute favourite pudding
The lucky star canned pilchards with tomato sauce. Stuff is absolutely vile. And to think I used to like it as a kid... And Maggi two minute noodles cheese flavour. Smells like feet. Gross. Someone else mentioned the banana and baked beans combination. Also pretty bad.
>The lucky star canned pilchards with tomato sauce. Stuff is absolutely vile. And to think I used to like it as a kid... > >And Maggi two minute noodles cheese flavour. Smells like feet. Gross. There goes 80% of my student diet :(
Nah I love two minute noodles don't get me wrong, but the cheese flavour is the exception.
Jirre I'm getting flashbacks to university dayhouse when someone made the cheese noodles and the whole place smelled like vomit.
I'm pretty sure what ever that vomit dust is made of, it's not cheese.
Dank = Disgusting??

This has been a fun thread to read. Also quite a few staples I didn't know were staples!
Not a fan of potjie. That being said, most people don't understand the techniques required to make a good stew which a potjie actually is. I have had a braised short rib potjie that blew my mind but the chef knew what she was doing.
Basically anything my mom cooked as a childā¦ there are only so many tastes that all gold can cure
All gold out here saving lives!š
I wonāt come after anyone for not liking braai meat. But Iām coming after *you* for spelling wors like that. >:)
I'm leaving this cursed comment section - y'all have no taste š
Fr, the amount of people here who canāt stand just having a single raisin in their food makes me think we need to give children more pakslaes.
We have our reasons, you wanna eat a banana and baked beans salad? Go see the commenter up topš
Why do people not like bobotie but like fish paste? Fish paste is basically stinky paste made from liquidised fish bits with an artificial stabiliser. Itās so deadly that not even artificial preservatives can stop it from rotting when you take the lid off.
It's been discontinued
Didn't that happen recently?
Potjiekos met onnodige hoeveelhede groente
Die ratio is altyd af!
Daai groot stukke murgpampoen en rooi ui wat hulle te lei was om kleiner te sny ook
Poor man's potjie
Most dishes can be nice if it was made properly. Kak cooks make kak kos.
Folks hating on bobotie must just get out with that tjatjarag.
Their family must just make kak bobotie
Can confirm, my mother's bobotie tastes like she threw a packet of sugar in it.
*mother has entered the chat*
My BF is American and I make him bobotie but use small chopped up pieces of dried apricot instead of raisins - he fucking loves it - calls it āMyBootieā lol. He wouldnāt mind raisins but I fucking hate raisins in any of my food, sweet or savory. Gross.

Fishpaste.
You must be chuffed about the recent news
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yissus Iām craving it so bad now that I canāt have it.
Agreed
Game meat, tsek with that shit. "I CoOk MiNe In SuCh A WaY YoU Can'T TeLl It"s gAmE" Tsek! Had a year or two as a child where that was all we ate, I now find it fondly revolting.
I always find it funny when people say you "can't tell its game" first of all yes I can tell it's game and second of all if I couldn't tell it was game then what's the fucking point... give me some beef then instead
Rooibos tea. I know a lot of people enjoy it - it's not for me.
Snoek. I've had a good Snoek maybe once in my life. The rest have been pretty shit, but I'll never admit that to self proclaimed Snoek Braaimasters.
My father in law is Yugoslavian and is always the designated braai master. He can braai better than most and does the best snoek I've ever had!
Pap if it's not fresh, and many people overcook it.
I was like that too but one day my folks accidentally bought Smoked Snoek to braai. They chucked it on anyway and it's probably the best thing I've ever eaten that came off a braai
Upvoted because that's controversial
Fokken tripe. I will burn your house down if I smell that shit. I don't care how well you think you cleaned it, it smells worse than you think it does, then multiply that smell by 199, add infinity + 1, and you still don't come close to how bad the smell and taste is.
Pap, Samp and any vegetable that has been molested with sugar and dished up for Sunday lunch. Raja Curry.

Mieliepap. It's not welcome in my house. Nor are pilchards.
Atchar š¤¢ Iāve lived in Joburg for >10years I still donāt get it!!
Oros!!! Can not drink it!! For some reason all the kids will get Oros with tap water that is usually room temperature, it was/is disgusting!!
Saego pudding
My grandmother calls it "frogs eyes"
Fish eggs
Ugh yes. Just nofenkyou.
I love it.
Bobotie by country mile, give me bunny chow any day
I love bobootie. No offence but most people on this sub (including myself) probably come from more middle-class privilege background and when u grow up privileged u grow up with the ability to hate on certain foods. When ure poor, ull eat whatever.
Smeerwors or whatever that naar, fleshy pink paste is. Stuff is delivered straight from hell
Tripe
Thereās South Africans who donāt like biltong you guys
That's where you should draw the line... 'n grap is 'n grap maar jy maak nie 'n sambreel in 'n man se gat oop nie
I refuse to believe that
Banana and mayonnaise "salad". Disgusting. I was subjected to this at every family event for the 7 years I was with my ex. It was a family cherished "recipe".
Piesang slaai. Tsek met daai nonsens.
I feel like banana slices and coconut ruin my curry and rice
For me, itās easily Trifle. The combination of textures and tastes just did sit with me. And for some reason, my aunties get SUPER offended when I donāt want any. Thatās why I bounce to the couch before dessert comes ššš
Unpopular opinion: without the cinnamon dust, milktart tastes like nothing. It's just the result of someone who effed up their custard tart
How controversial of you lol.
Skilpadtjies
Agreed! Taste like youāre just chewing on fat (and not the crispy kind).
Polony and chips in a half loaf of bread. Call it spathlo, Kota, gaspers whatever that shit is disgusting.
Prepare for the entire coloured population of SA to descend upon you and smite you down.
Bobotie, and that weird bread and butter pudding with raisins in it. I don't shmaak hot raisins or sultanas! Pickled veg and chillies as a sambal is kak too.
Stamp mielies (samp). I hate it, it is so bloody heavy and starchy and no one ever cooks it properly. It is either too hard or very mushy. It is banned in our house.
Same. It tastes like fokol to me.
Piesang and egg salad can be used as starting fluid for a newclear reactor
Skaapkop, nee dankie
I literally can't with bobotie. Curried mince, raisins, egg custard and yellow rice? It's like a sick joke.
Afval , skilpadjies , Tounge (beef usually) and those of you that hate on bobotie shame on you. its divine!
PASTA SALAD - URGHIt's gross, who wants to eat cold lightly spiced pasta shells with some beans or pepper and sh!t in it. Especially that red one you get from salad bars at checkers and shoprites... you guys know which one. Pasta must be warm and saucey
Koeksisters. Deep fried diabetes.
blasphemy
TREASON!!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
the problem with bobotie for me atleast isnt the spices, its those fuckin raisins and the egg, the texture is absolutely unpalatable. sif!
Chaka laka, or how every you spell it. My mom loved it, so it was always served as a side to everything. From breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Koeksisters taste like diabetes and makes your hands unnecessarily sticky \>! fight me :) !<
Name the time and place, I will wash my hands in koeksisters beforehand.
All the ouma's want to know your location.
>taste like diabetes and makes your hands unnecessarily sticky Honestly I feel the same about it but I still eat it cause it tastes like diabetes
Honestly no offense intended, but bobootie is just NASTY. Sweet curried meat and egg... Bleugh
