Just goes to show they don't have any taste!!


I have a great SA butcher close by that I've been going to for about 12
years. Used to be the only place in Brisbane where you could get
boerewors...... now you can buy it (and it's pretty good too) in just about
any major supermarket.

BTW, we had boerewors for dinner last night :-)


I need to find somewhere that sells the BBQ thingy that holds the
boerewors.

Name??
