Boerewors (farmer’s sausage) is as traditionally South African as Biltong, Koeksisters, Pap (maize porridge) and Vetkoek (fat cake). “Boeries” as it is affectionately known by locals, is staple fare in South Africa. It is wholesome, delicious and reasonably inexpensive. Above all, it tastes like nothing else on the rest of this planet! If you would like to make you own Boerewors try this link. One of my favourite recipes with this humble sausage is Boerewors Stew, there are many variations on this stew, and I could mail you some if you’d like. Email
