SOUTH AFRICAN FOOD is NOT what you THINK. (I ate Ostrich?) 🤔🇿🇦

FOOD in SOUTH AFRICA is a mystery. Before visiting Cape Town I had no idea what the locals ate. South African food has been influenced by so many different cultures, it can be hard to define. But at the end of the day... it is one thing. Delicious.
I spent a month in Cape Town, and I had the chance to really dig in and try some of the local cuisine. From the cheapest street food such as with Boherwors Rolls or Gatsbys, to eating at nicer restaurants like "Den Anker" and "Gold".... and you'll find Ostrich at every step of the way.
If you're planning to visit South Africa or Cape Town, it can be overwhelming trying to decide where to eat. I totally get it. Hopefully these recommendations help. From Wine, to Ostrich, to Braai, there is something amazing for everyone in the "Mother City".

"Does this make me sound like I know wine? I don't." 😂😂😂 I enjoyed this video. Your humour is right up my alley 😅😂😂😂

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

I just gotta be honest 😂 I'm glad you liked it!! Thank you for watching! 🙏🏻

[@justinvanvoorhisman]

I'll Braai with you anytime! That food looked great!

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

Super great! And yesss group meetup for a Braai in Cape Town 🤩

[@alanbrooke1711]

Yip, Braaing is the act of grilling meat over hot coals. Barbeque on the other hand, is a spice. As simple as that!

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

Makes sense to me! 🍖

[@randallKyama]

Great content. Really well documented.

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻

[@sam.6352]

I live like 2 houses down from Bismillah, infact my house was even in this video, nice video man!

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

No way! Wow what a cool place to live! Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻🇿🇦

[@bhekemsenidladla3202]

Love this, also the delivery is top tier

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

Thank you so much!! I appreciate it! ❤️🇿🇦

[@carln8640]

Phenomenal as always! Really hope to visit Cape Town some day!

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

Thank you!! I hope so too, you're going to love it! 🙏🏻

[@jacoolckers6465]

If you visit Cape Town one day. Don't forget to visit the Castle of Good Hope. I live in Pretoria. Cape Town is just the beginning of what could be an adventure.

[@mariemieny5100]

I love the way you tried to pronounce Malawi! hahaha!

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

That's really funny, I only just know looked up the proper pronounciation 😂 I normally look up pronunciations before making videos, but the crazy thing is I was *so* confident (incorrectly) that I was right about this one that I didn't even bother to look it up. Geez. 😂🙈😂

[@GuitarWithMe100]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

Thank you!!! 🙏🏻

[@madeleinbronner3943]

LOVED IT!!!! ❤

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

😂 Thank you!!! ❤️

[@marco8081a]

Hey, Mr Get Lost thx for making another SA vid. We had Ostrich in Oudtshoorn 7 (?) years ago during a trip to SA. I can't remember it leaving any kind of impression on me 😄 I do love bobotie though! Thx for letting me know about the Time Out Market, I'd never even heard about it. Sucks that no-one has invited you for a braai (sies julle Suid Afrikaners) if you're still there in Aug when we visit again we can make it happen. You sure those are koeksisters? Koeksisters have a very distinct shape - think greasy fried braided hair🤣

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

Ah thank you for watching it! I do actually think the Time Out market opened in Cape Town pretty recently! And totally possible, they were labelled as Koeksisters at the restaurant (if you watch the video when they're in the display case you'll see) but that doesn't mean they were right 😂

[@jacoolckers6465]

My fevered is the Bobotie and I am South African. Yes koeksiters are very sweet and very stickie. Braai is the no 1 event in every house.

[@clasqm]

Afrikaner Koeksisters and Cape Malay koe'susters are two completely different things.

[@junctionballito2813]

U got the 100th like from me

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

🎉1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣🎉

[@tertiuscilliers6412]

It is really sad you left South Africa without a proper braai, come back, and contact me or anyone, we will braai with you, but seriously, come back, will hook you up with a braai that will make you say BBQ what? plus next time go a little more in land, try Knysna, you will love it there, do it during their oyster festival time. Also you cannot go wrong visiting the East coast, but west coast remains the best. Loved the video. bring friends next time and seriously let us show you how to braai

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻 I will be back and I will for sure be coming with friends next time, there is so much to show other people, it's really amazing! And yes, I may take you up on that, a good group for a Braai sounds like an amazing time!

[@silvertongue3003]

Ostrich is delicious, ostrich mince is perfect in pasta and ostrich neck is a delicious replacement for oxtail

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

I'm definitely intrigued by it! Excited to try it in other ways 🤩

[@tomevers23]

About pulling over and braaing on Chapman's peak, I would advise you don't, unless there are designated fire pits. There have been some enormous wildfires on and around Table Mountain recently and it is quite risky to have an open fire like that. Again, if there is a designated cooking area, like on a campsite or picnic area, go for it :)

[@tomevers23]

And Den Anker has great fries and mussels. There is also a very good asian restaurant called Willoughby's in that mall in the waterfront.

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

This is a good tip, thank you!! 🙏🏻

[@Joe-nj3bb]

2:50 Was she a good witch or a bad witch? 🤔 That is the question... 4:52 Awesome views from that bus ride. 🤩 5:50 🎶Red, red wine...stay close to me...🍷🎶🥴🤣 7:14 The Boerewors Roll (Farmer's Sausage) or the Gatsby would be my go-to there. 😋

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

😂 She seemed nice enough? Supposedly blessing the people. Yeah the sandwiches there are insane, and so cheap too. Really really good 🤩

[@sibongilesamantha7561]

While other Americans think that Africa is Hungry 😂😂 Shout out to you 🤙

[@guidobrits6593]

Dude, your pronunciation is a killer😂

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

😂 I'm sorry I do try!

[@divyeshsharma1716]

Farmer's sausage ayoooo 7:13

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

😂 The best!

[@nwsaTV]

Congratulations

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

[@lu-cardowashinggreen1278]

Ostrich is the best meat I've ever had

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

I had it prepared two very different ways while I was there, the first I didn't really like, but the second (at Gold restaurant) was delicious!

[@EmilioGuerraDrData]

Those aren't koeksisters, those look like what we call vetkoek

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

Oh interesting! They were labelled as Koeksisters at the restaurant (if you watch the video when they're in the display case you'll see the sign) but that doesn't mean the restaurant had it right 😂

[@jewlstorres8600]

There are boere style koeksusters & the cape Malay koesusters are different - more spice & coconut is sprinkled after the syrup

[@MartinMenge]

@@Get.Lost.Travel The koe-sister (one k) is derived form the Indonesian "kueh sago" and "kueh lapis." The koek-sister (two ks) is derived from a combo of the french tresse and the dutch olykoeks. Olykoeks is also the origin of the American doughnut and tresse is a plat. So its basically just a glazed donut where the dough is platted in a twist.

[@MartinMenge]

Pinotage... always reminds me of Denzel Washington's character in Safe House praising it as a beautiful grape.

[@Get.Lost.Travel]

I haven't seen that! I love Denzel though, I'll be giving it a watch soon for sure 🤩
