South African and Spanish must eats.





Migration and Hunger are the best of friends when it becomes an international affair.

Simply because the stereotype of moving into a country of foreign language, is that the food will probably be as hard to eat as it is to spaek. However, it doesn't have to be that hard, you just need to know your foods.


Pan: Your Spanish way of saying "bread". You'll never go hungry by asking for this and a glass of Agua natural in your typical bar or restaurante. This is a starter, starch and water can get you a long way, well at least until you can learn your foods.


Valencian paella: consists of white rice, green vegetables, meat (rabbit, chicken, duck), snails, beans and seasoning. Seafood paella replaces meat and snails with seafood and omits beans and green vegetables. Mixed paella is a free-style combination of meat, seafood, vegetables and sometimes beans.Many non-Spaniards perceive paella as Spain's national dish, a must have


Kota/BunnyChow: Kota, derived from Quarter of a loaf(original meal size per person) is a street culture fast food take away meal. A real must have. Its more flexible than an insurance policy, you choose your ingredients according to how much you are willing to pay. standard Kota: Fried chips, palony, atcha and cheese. R 4,50


Pap and wors: is not a stranger to the international market, my reintroduction of this awesome meal will not do it much justice. With eleven different cultures and racial groups in South Africa, we are surely united by at least to things, Pap n wors and Sports. The rest will come later.


It helps to know your meals.
