Turning up the heat in Durban
After arriving in the capital Johannesburg, we headed towards the coast and to the city of Durban. Famed for it’s beaches and it’s balmy temperatures we certainly warmed to it and spent a good few days there. One of the main features of Durban is it’s Indian influence. Durban has the largest Indian population outside of India, bringing with them their culture, mosques, spices and of course curries. We had Durban Curry for tea one night, and of course had to sample the Durban curry delicacy – the Bunny Chow. This is basically a half loaf of bread with the middle scooped out, and filled with curry. The Bunny Chow is so called as it was originally created for black caddies (bunnies) who during Apartheid years were not allowed to use the crockery at some of the exclusive white-only golf clubs, so one of the chef’s came up with this idea!?!
