Bunny Chow

Today, after a hard day of visiting in Soweto, my friend Given took me took a place to enjoy a South African “delicacy”.  It's called Bunny Chow.  It is basically hollowed out bread with pretty much anything inside of it.  I think the Bunny Chow first began with the Indians who first came to work in South Africa.  Instead of carrying containers for bread and curry, it was easier to hollow the bread out and place the curry inside and then place the bread back over the top.  Basically, the meal was also a container.

My Bunny Chow had chips (french fries for you guys in the states), cheese, a fried egg, and some kind of bologna type meat in it.  Along with these ingredients it also had some type of spice like red chili pepper on it.  It was pretty good at first, but kind of got old as you kept eating it.  I took some home to Georgia and she did not seem to care for it.  I will probably try it again soon.  I hear there are countless combinations of it.  There's nothing like buying something on the side of the road and eating it.
