LOL! I think we have a different opinion about what restaurants are
'good quality.' I was speaking of local restaurants that were
recommended to me by local residents. I simply didn't care for the foods
I ate in them. The international foods I ate in hotels was more to my
liking. This is hardly a condemnation of the country.

It is possible that I'm the only person in the world who doesn't care
for it, which explains the proliferation of South African restaurants
all over the world.

Very true. In my post I thought I was clear in saying it was 'local
cuisine' that I didn't care for. I enjoyed the international dishes.
