I tire ooo....jealousy

Ghanaians and Kenyans here don't understand how we are trying to run America's system of government here but they come here to talk nonsense.

samorobo:



Thanks please help me tell that ignorant dog ....later they would say they taught out to act ,yet our movies are premiering at Toronto international film festivals. ....our movies are in British cinemas and most importantly the first african movie originally bought by net fix a global screening giant...so ghanians if at all you taught us ( I don't know the history cause I was not born then) why are you movies not recognized outside your country......I mean you need to see the way your actors are treated at our audition venues ( kept under the sun while nigeria upcoming stars are ushered in away from the sun ) all be cos they need a role in nigerian movies

They didn't teach us anytime. It was other way round and I have proven it here.

chrisagyei:
Our movie industry has been on a deliberate halt and destruction because nationally we can't and won't accept mediocrity in the name of National pride like how you guys hype your useless nollywoid or whatever worse off produced movies.We will rather watch mexican and Indian soaps.You guys hype Majid Michel or whatever and one lebanese Ghanaian Juliet Ibrahim and this dutch Blood Ghanaian Van Vicker or whatever and this American mixed Ghanaian Nadia Buari.Take them and grant them citizenship because they are not even regarded over here or even seen as Ghanaians.We celebrate John Dumelo and Jackie Appiah over here not those Arab and European Ghanaians

It was the same European that saved your country from perpetual corruption and poverty. Give respect to Rawlings.

What are these Ghanaians doing here, that even their president don't want to be left behind (in Ghana)?

XhosaNostra:



I know lol. I'd never eat anything a Nigerian cooked because only God knows it could be a bat, a hippo or some other type of disgusting "bush meat".

Stop being hypocritical. You must have eating all these in South Africa because it is part of your menu.

Seeing and Eating Exotic Animals in South Africa

Disclaimer: It’s heartless to eat endangered animals. In compiling this list, I chose to feature chefs and restaurants that source meats responsibly. Media sources regularly report on the evils of gorilla and elephant bushmeat, and it’s worth looking up which species are endangered before booking a hunting safari. It is exceptionally rare to find endangered animals on the menu in a South African restaurant.

With so many exotic animals to see and eat, South Africa convinces many travelers to indulge their wilder sides. From ostrich to zebra, bushmeat can be delicious and healthy. In each of the sections below, an exotic meat is explored and an exceptional restaurant is recommended along with a game park. In this way, animal lovers can spend the day hanging out with their dinner, then return to eat it! Note that many of the restaurants featured below are fine-dining establishments and their menus change seasonally. Call ahead to ensure your exotic meat of choice is present.

Ostrich


I’ll take an ostrich burger over a beef burger any day. An incredibly versatile red meat with half the fat of chicken, ostrich makes a delicious a steak, burger, carpaccio, pâté, and more. Moreover, an ostrich egg is the equivalent of 24 regular chicken eggs, and its yolk is exceedingly rich. Ostrich is a popular menu item all over South Africa, and a concentration of ostrich farms can be found in the town of Oudtshoorn in southern South Africa. Buffelsdrift Game Lodge, located just outside of Oudtshoorn, serves a succulent ostrich carpaccio as part of its “The Buffelsdrift Salad” ($10) and its 200g Flame Grilled Tender Ostrich Fillet ($12) has a similar texture to a sirloin tip side steak.

Did you know that ostriches mate for life? Did you know they can live to be 80? Just up the road from Buffelsdrift, the Cango Ostrich Show Farm welcomes visitors daily, and its tour is fun and educational. During the tour, guests get to learn about ostriches, pet ostriches, ride ostriches, and even see a dwarf ostrich–all for $8.50.

Springbok


A type of gazelle, springbok tend to look like tiny rocking horses frolicking across the African plains. Farmers prefer raising springbok to lamb because it eats less grass and causes less damage to fields. Springbok is typically served in steak form, and to me, it tastes similar to venison. Located in the famous town of Stellenbosch in the Stellenbosch wine region, the 5 Ryneveld Restaurant offers an excellent half-pound springbok steak for $15. Chef Addington Mahurayi, who has worked in 5-star hotel restaurants in South Africa and Zimbabwe, seasons the meat with course salt and grills it over an open flame. The true springbok flavor shines through. It is served with roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables with a balsamic reduction artistically dotting the rim of the plate.

Visitors will find springbok in most game reserves, including the Sanbona Wildlife Reserve, which offers game drives. The reserve is located in the Western Cape on the famous Route 62.

Warthog


Ugly to look at, delicious to eat! Warthog has a similar flavor and texture to pork, and at the fine-dining Savoy Cabbage restaurant in Cape Town, Chef Peter Pankhurst serves a perfectly cooked Fennel-Dusted Warthog Loin with Bashed Neeps and Tatties, Onion Marmalade, and Sour Fig Syrup (just in case you’re wondering, “Neeps and Tatties” is a mash of turnip and potato) for $20. After being put into a brine for several days to relax it, my warthog was very tender, and the licorice-aroma of the fennel flower took me away to Tuscany, where wild boar and fennel flower are a common combination. Caroline Bagley, owner of Savoy Cabbage, says that the restaurant uses only free-range warthog, and, feeding on the natural food of the fields, it is hormone free. “The only difference is that the farms have no predators,” said Caroline. Except us, I suppose.

Warthogs don’t like to be near people, and they’re most commonly seen running away with their tails standing straight up in the air. However, the Hluhluwe Game Reserve has roving herds of warthogs, and it is the oldest game reserve in South Africa. You’ll find it in the KwaZulu-Natal province.

Kudu


Some believe that kudu, an African antelope, is the world’s best-tasting game meat. Kudu can weigh up to nearly 700lbs, and their horns, which can grow up to three feet or longer, are a common ornamentation in South African homes. A very lean meat, kudu is served as a steak or as biltong, a type of cured meat. Richard Bosman’s Quality Cured Meats produces an excellent kudu biltong that travelers can find at the Earth Fair Market in Cape Town. The meat is ruby red and tastes quite good on its own. The Earth Fair Market takes place Thursdays in Cape Town’s St. Georges Mall from 11am-3pm.

The Plettenberg Bay Game Reserve, the largest game reserve in the Southern Cape, is a great place to spot kudu. Take a 4×4 safari, or, to get really intimate with the animals, take a safari on horseback. The Plettenberg Bay Game Reserve is located along the famous Garden Route, which runs the southern coast of South Africa.

Giraffe


In general, giraffe is not a common item on South African menus. It’s a controversial subject, particularly because a few subspecies of giraffe are endangered. Aiming to treat giraffes responsibly, South African restaurants obtain giraffe meat through registered culling programs. A culling program removes animals from overpopulated areas, usually South African game reserves.

One of South Africa’s most famous restaurants, The Carnivore Restaurant, is located in the town of Muldersdrift just outside of Johannesberg, and it serves a large selection of South Africa’s bush meat. Obtaining giraffe meat from registered culling programs, The Carnivore Restaurant simply tenderizes and marinates the giraffe steaks and then roasts the steaks on Massai swords over an open flame. “Giraffee meat has a great deal of sinew,” says General Manager Allen Dixon. “It can be quite tough and chewy, however, it is very flavorful.”

The Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve comprises the southwestern section of Kruger Park, and it is a five-hour drive from Johannesberg. The Big 5 Game (lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros) are native to the fenceless reserve, and Sabi Sabi offers guided bush walks, Land Rover safaris, and luxury safari lodges.

Wildebeest


Wildebeest, also called gnu, is famous for its annual migrations, during which 1.5 million wildebeests travel approximately 1,800-miles roundtrip from the Serengeti plains to Masai Mara, Kenya. Wildebeest weigh between 220 and 330lbs, and the blue wildebeest is typically served as a loin or shank. In Cape Town, Chef Harald Bresselschmidt serves a Seared Wildebeest with Pepper and Coriander Crust at Aubergine Restaurant. Aubergine Restaurant was named one of the top 100 restaurants in the world by Restaurant Magazine in 2009. Chef Bresselschmidt marinates the meat in juniper berry dust, savoury herbs, orange rind, and a splash of gin, then he sears the loin lightly in brown butter to caramelize the natural sugars. He then bakes it to medium rare and allows it to rest for 20 minutes. Before serving, he flash heats it under the grill then slices and serves it. He says that, in general, wildebeest pairs well with dried or sautéed fruit, so long as it isn’t overly sweet, or savoy or red cabbage. “The meat is generally not too gamey in taste, and it pairs well with our own Kalahari truffles,” adds Chef Bresselschmidt.

Inverdoorn Game Reserve has the largest concentration of wild animals near Cape Town; it is a two-and-a-half-hour drive from the city. Wildebeests can be seen roaming free in large family herds, and the reserve is also home to lions, cheetahs, rhinos, giraffes, and African buffalo. Anga Lodge furnishes the reserve’s accommodations.

Crocodile


Crocodile, a somewhat bland, white meat, has a low fat content, and it tastes a little like fishy chicken. Most restaurants serve it in pieces, but tail fillet is also available. Mama Africa Restaurant and Bar is a wildly popular eatery on Cape Town’s famous party street, Long Street, and if you want to try several exotic meats at once, try Mama’s Game Grill (market price), which comes with crocodile, ostrich, springbok, kudu, and venison sausage. To focus on the crocodile itself, order Mama’s Crocodile Kebabs ($14), which are grilled with green and red peppers then served with peanut satay and rice. The char from the grill and the satay make this tough meat quite palatable.

Crocodiles are a common site at game reserves, so why not head out to South Africa’s most famous game park, Kruger National Park? This massive, 7,523-square-mile park is located in the north of the country, a long drive from civilization. Here, visitors confront true Africa.

Zebra


Two of the three species of zebra are endangered; however, the plains zebra is common, and its meat can sometimes be found on South African restaurant menus. I hear that zebra meat is very tender and comparable to beef, only slightly sweeter. I’ve eaten horse, and zebra sounds similar. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a restaurant that served zebra during my time in South Africa. Savoy Cabbage has served zebra as an appetizer in the past, when Chef Pankhurst created a Sugar-cured Zebra with Drunken Soba Noodles, Pineapple and Habanero Chilli Salsa.

The Fairy Glen Game Reserve is the only safari near Cape Town with all five of the Big 5 Game. An hour from the city by car, the reserve offers 4×4 safaris, horseback safaris, and overnight accommodations.

Funny that when it suits your narrative, you separate South Africans by race, but other times, such as this in instance, we're all South Africans.
FYI, all the things listed above are eaten by white South Africans. I bet the person who wrote that is a white South African. No black South African eats an ostrich! We don't even eat ducks or turkeys, why on earth would we eat a crocodile/zebra for? A springbok & a kudu are deers. Nothing wrong with eating deer meat. But most of us have never eaten cooked deer meat, except in the form of biltong.

You're trying so hard to justify your strange eating habits, now you're just grasping at straws. Go eat a rat & leave us out of your madness. We don't eat rubbish.

13 Weird Traditional Dishes in South Africa

13 Weird Traditional Dishes in South Africa
When people think about South Africa, they generally think about Cape Town, the Kruger National Park, wild life and absolutely breath-taking natural landscapes. South Africa does however have a weird side to it…their food!

Here are 13 of the weirdest traditional dishes that you can find in South Africa:


Skilpadjies
Also known as muise, vlermuise or pofadder, this dish is lamb’s liver wrapped in caul fat (the fatty membrane surrounding the kidneys) that is barbecued. It is known as little toroise (skilpadjie), mice (muise) and puf adder (pofadder) because of its appearance. Skilpadjies are best served with mealie pap or toasted bread.


Mopanieworms
These are nutritious, crunchy but tasty dried out caterpillars. The worms are harvested from trees and bushes, squeezed to get rid of their guts and then boiled with tomatoes and garlic. The worms can also be fried. This dish is actually originally from Zimbabwe but became very popular as a snack in South Africa.


Termites
Feeling hungry but you’re in the middle of the bush with no shops around? Why not walk over to your closest tree and have a look for termites? Famous in rural areas, those who have tried it said termites taste just like carrots! They are a great source of protein and can be eaten raw or roasted or fried in oil.

Stinkbug
Don’t let the name scare you away! Even though the bugs smell horrible while alive, they are beheaded and squeezed empty before being cooked and sundried. The end result? A cinnamon and iodine infused snack that is rich in Vitamin B. These little critters are also high in amino acids and help with cholesterol – who would’ve thought? As most of the bugs on this list, stinkbugs are eaten as snacks in rural areas in South Africa.

Yeah, maybe to some people but an ostrich is a no-no. Kudu etc, yes. In most of our cultures, you don't even drink milk from other animals, except cow milk.

I agree @ bolded.

Common stop lying there. You must eating alot of burger in South Africa. I mean ostrich burger. hahahaha!

But 42,000 naira is just about 11,000 shillings!

forgiveness:


I gave you the same source that claimed Nigeria's minimum wage is 42,000 naira. Is it true? Stop deceiving yourself here.

We can now agree South Africans eat bush meats including rat.

The point is your minimum wages is around 80-85 dollars. Let us not drift away from that fact. Nigerians don't receive 42,000 Naira as minimum wage. That's fat lie. Same goes to Kenya claiming to receive 13,000 shillings. Another blatant lie.
