Crystal Espin

Rusk stash running low? Time to stock up with one of these beauties. Whether you’re a fan of classic no-frills buttermilk or prefer a bit of excitement in your beskuit, your perfect dipper is out there waiting for you. It’s true, rusks are a beloved South African staple, but when it comes to opinions on which rusks take the cake, those can be as diverse as our many cultures.

Is there anything more South African than a boerewors roll? Every South African knows the makings of a good boerie roll — the smell of wors on the braai; the soft white roll waiting on the side; the fried onions; the smoor; the sauces; the first bite that is messy, warm and completely worth it. It’s a braai favourite so synonymous with South African culture that at this point I challenge you to name one place in our country where you won’t find a random boerewors roll stand.
