Tasting Snacks From Every Country In The World [EP2] South Africa

[@shelomiferreira1605]

As a South African Biltong and Droewors is our Favourite snack. I would choose it as my last meal if I could. You do get variety such as yellow Fat Biltong and Chilli bites. We can also choose either wet, medium or dry biltong and droewors depending on what you prefer. Its only that dry to preserve it for a long time. Rusk are usually dipped into to coffee and tea to soften it. Koeksisters is a fried dough that is twisted into a plait and after frying is soaked in a syrup. Thanks for this video. It was awesome.

[@poepflater]

Yep, payday flex, buy a bit of biltong!

[@BonniciAlexia]

Biltong is the best! Don Pedro is also a drink I've only ever had when living there

[@elizabethhiebert1859]

Thank you so much for providing additional information on these snacks. It is interesting and much appreciated, since we (non South Africans) don't know much about nuance in snacking on them! 11:43 Best to you and ours! .Cheers!! P.S. I wondered about whether or not the rusks or even the other biscuits might be dunkers. That is how I would eat them.

[@quantakiran]

Shop bought koeksisters are really a hit and miss especially outside of KZN. Everyone I've tried has been way too oily and forget finding one dusted with dessicated coconut.

[@AlmiePret]

I almost lost it laughing when he's chewing the rusk and saying it's so dry 🤣🤣🤣 And when he says you usually take it with a bit of coffee... No... You soak it in coffee and pull it out only just before it breaks😂 (I always have a teaspoon ready lol)

Yoh, like seriously, he even says i understand you dip this in your coffee and then eats it dry. It is so hard because.....

@@Miaauify and EVERY SINGLE youtuber that tries rusks eats them dry.. its so wrong and i dont get why no one knows? its in all the videos everyone tells them this. Maybe the companies that supply the snaks should say .. DO NOT EAT THIS DRY!! make coffee first!! i dont know, its sad

[@kathleendey8645]

The whole purpose of a rusk is that you can dip it in your tea and it doesn't go mushy. It stays crunchy and whole while soaking up and holding the tea. You NEVER eat a dry rusk. It's only delicious if you dunk it. You're welcome. 🇿🇦

I hope I can find a rusk in the us because it sounds great especially with dipping it in coffee.

You would basically pronounce it as cucsisters - like in cuccoo in Afrikaans. Koek refers to a tangle - the plaited part.

[@lindacrawshaw6613]

Loved your review on our snacks. The traditional way to eat rusks is with a cup of tea or coffee and you dunk it in the beverage and it like that. Then you won't damage your teeth and they also taste much better. Good review. The koeksisters are pronounced cooksister and are my favourite

[@SchmozzleGTO]

Ireland/Irish typically have SA brus, have been there, or love when we play rugby together... Lots that binds us...

[@BMC-hl2uh]

Garron, rusks are usually eaten by dipping them in coffee first before stuffing the mouth. Wors & biltong is best consumed whilst watching rugby and drinking copious amounts of beer.

[@ElleDiablo]

As a South African, a large part the country can't even (or couldn't be bothered) to pronounce South African names properly. He'll be fine, and at least he pronounced it with a "v" sound instead of a "w" sound

[@laurenthompson3096]

As a South African, I loved your take on everything. If you have any of the snacks left, you may want to alter the way you consume some of them to get the best out of them. Rusks are amazing dunked into coffee (my preference is latte) because it takes away the hard crunch and if you get the sweet spot, it's a little crunchy and not total mush. The Peppermint Crisp also requires special instructions. Bite the ends off and use it as a straw for a glass of milk. The milky mint taste is yummy. Those koeksisters also don't look the freshest. It's deep fried plaited dough which is then soaked in syrup. When fresh, they're kind of crunchy on the outside while being squishy on the inside. Textural sure, but so tasty and sure to contribute towards obesity and diabetes, lol. The dried fruit in ZA is amazing and I highly recommend guava roll. Oh and pink Fizzers are the only Fizzers worth eating. You need dinner with some South Africans, because yes, those are all great long shelf life snacks but the cooked food is amazing. Puddings, stews, barbecued veggies. Adopt a South African and eat like a king! 😂

[@RoxRothmann]

This was VERY rewarding to watch as a South African, I haven't laughed this much in a long time!!!😂😂 So much to unpack here but most importantly: 1. Droewors & Biltong should be wet & fatty (yellow fat) - it'll make you swear off Beef Jerkey for life. 2. When you said rusks are for babies and it dissolves in their mouths it SENT me 😂😂😂 Dip it in your tea or coffee . 3. Bite off both ends of the Peppermint Crisp and use it as a straw to drink milk (only psychopaths eat it straight-up)😂 4. Creme Soda must be ice cold and served with ice and is the BEST for hangovers! 5. Eat more of the koeksister (pronounced cook sister), one bite doesn't do it justice. Overall though,this was spectacular! Next up: Malva pudding & custard, Milktart, Ghost Pops, Boerewors Roll, Brandy & Coke, Black Label beer & a Braai Broodtjie...actually....just come to South Africa and we'll show you! 🤙🍻

The mint crisp looks very like something I loved as a child in the 70s in the UK called, I think, Mint Cracknel. It had what I can only describe as shards of crunchy mint in the centre. Yum. 💚

[@allyson1691]

Sounds about right

[@holymags2495]

Shards? Were they sharp?

[@kathleendey8645]

We would bite off each end and then drink a glass of milk through the entire bar like it was a mint chocolate straw. Very good, very messy.

[@petermoody6147]

To: @JulesC-w5m - Ha, ha! Mint Cracknel. Thank you so much. The description of the sweet reminded me very much of that but I couldn't think of the name. I absolutely loved it and then like so many others it disappeared. I seem to remember the 'shards' were 'soft' but seemed to gently 'explode' into a delicious mint flavour. Close in experience to a sparkling, crunchy and longer-lasting 'After Eight'.

[@petermoody6147]

To:@@holymags2495- Ha, ha! Quite safe. Perhaps the word shard, reminds people of sharp glass. In a way it is quite descriptive in the imagery of glass but rather than sharp, jagged fragments the mint inside would 'crumble' into a multitude of tiny fragments rapidly, in the manner that car windscreens 'shatter' and crumble when broken. In fact the 'Cracknel' may have implied that it was similar to very fine 'shrapnel', in texture.

Garron, I hope you get invited to a 'braai' - it's a South African barbeque - loved this thanks for sharing :) also agree with everyone - we mostly use the peppermint crisp for peppermint crisp pudding which you might find at a braai.

[@ruanettekruger5886]

As a South African I feel that there were a few items left out. Mrs Balls chutney chips should definitely have been on the list. Anything milktart flavour. Wilson toffees, the original black ones. Definitely more original drink flavours like Lemon twist. They did hit the big ones with the biltong, Droewors, koeksister and rooibos. I'm glad you got to try it and glad you liked most of it. Fun fact: The koeksister is so popular in SA that there's even a koeksister statue in a town called Orania. The selling of koeksisters have long been a traditional and very popular way of fundraising to fund many projects like the building of churches, schools and many other projects. The koeksister is one of the most respected and beloved "snacks" in South Africa.

If you ever get to Cornwall, go to Falmouth to a restaurant called Amanzi. It is an African cuisine place and my fave restaurant. I've had 3 of those items, but slightly different. Boërwors ( Boar-voars) I believe, it's a lovely sausage. Biltong, quite right, a sort of jerky, and Coëksisters (coke-sisters) I believe, a sort of donut type pastry with a honey/sugary syrup. I tell everyone to try Bunny chow when at that restaurant though (not made of bunnies) lol.

[@mandygordon4086]

Koeksusters is pronounced cooksisters.

You need to dip the rusks in coffee / tea. Same with the koeksisters, you usually have then with a hot drink to balance out the sweetness. The creme soda is low kilojoule now, it used to be so much better. Someone should have sent you Shweppes granadilla instead. Also “eet sum mor” biscuits, champion toffees, tex bar. There’s so many good snacks. Biltong is the proper classic though. High in protein and healthy too.

Droëwors is dried sausage - it's not like black/blood pudding - I can't cope with eating black pudding, but droëwors I have no problems whatsoever. Delicious! You also get different kinds, beef is most common, but you also get kudu (game buck) that's a bit softer because of a higher fat content. Good man, Garron, I'm proud of you for giving our snacks a proper go there!

The Koeksister is basically a doughnut soaked in a simple syrup. I love them when they come straight out of the freezer.

Rusks MUST be dunked! Preferably in coffee, but tea will do. Loved your reaction! So honest, so accurate. Koeksisters (pr. cook sisters) are just some sort of pastry grilled and dipped in an oleaginous sugary syrup. It contains approximately 175% sugar per weight.

7/10 - we’ve been cheated!! Rusks are for dunking. You liked quite a lot of our stuff. I’ve never had that coffee biscuit in my life and I’m a South African and a fan of snacks. Every cream soda not green is weird to me and Peppermint Crisp is the bomb! We need to make you a Peppermint Crisp tart. ❤ Biltong > Jerky

[@Garron_Music]

I agree that it’s better than jerky tbh! 7/10 is a great score tbh 😂

[@meintjesevanza]

I offered the peppermint tart and milk tart 😉

[@allyson1691]

@@Garron_Musicokay all’s forgiven only cos you’re delicious 💖

[@Sirinava]

Garrrroooonnnnnnnnn. hahaha this was great. MORE OF THESE!!!

[@joannstonebarger3545]

Garron you are awesome!

[@normanh5052]

The cream soda is great for ice cream floats. You still have to have a milk tart as well. Plus boerewors is a must.

Pronunciations: Roy-boss Cooksisters And for the love of confectionery, dip the rusk in tea or coffee, man! Also you need to bite the ends off the peppermint crisp and use it as a straw to drink milk, like what the Aussies do with Tim Tams.

[@claunspach]

He won't get the pronounciation of rooibos from 'boss' because it's oo.. like from the word book but the Irish pronounce it do differently.

[@elizabethhiebert1859]

Loved the confectionery -risk comment!! Cheers!!

[@quantakiran]

Eish, that's a problem. So boss in the Irish dialect is boos?​@@claunspach

[@corriedebeer799]

The Rusk you dip it in your tea or coffee. It makes them soft enough to eat.

[@thisbelindaangel2841]

Noooooo you did not call biltong beef jerky ☠️

[@turquoisetreee]

Exactly 😮😮😮

[@Whattheactual411]

Sacrilege!!!!!
