It isn't considered a good morning
meal if shop-bought bread is offered. Only generous slices of home baked
bread and the creamiest salted farm butter will do. Thick cuts of back
bacon begged from a local farmer and plump sweet tomatoes picked from
bushes in the vegetable garden that morning also feature.
Then it's time to get up close and
personal with the delicious ingredients and create a break of day feast
before the African sun gnaws away at your appetite.
Prepare for a lot of chatter around
the breakfast table (usually situated in the kitchen) with a dog or
two begging at your ankles and mug after mug of strong coffee.
No breakfast in our country is complete
without boerewors.
Boerewors (An Afrikaans word, 'Boere'meaning
'farmers'and 'Wors'meaning 'sausage') is a sausage probably created
by the pioneers (Boers) two hundred years ago. My husband Johan is a
dab hand at making this fragrant, spicy sausage and we would like to
share the recipe with you.
Go on, try it! It is so worth the
effort!
