Bobotie

 During our last time in York, we stumbled on arestaurant called Karoo. A South African restaurant. As my wife is half South African from her father's side, we thought we had to try it. I also love to try new sorts of food. I ordered a bobotie and fell in love wiht it. It's a sort of pie with spiced mince meat as a base and an egg topping. You have it with rice on the side and chutney for seasoning. It tastes delicious, the kind of simple, hearty food that fills you up, but make you wish you had enough appetite for more. It is seriously good. Enough so I want to try baking a vegetarian verison that my wife can enjoy. I told my father-in-law that I discovered one of his national dishes. Surprisingly, he was not particularly impressed. His words: "I never liked bobotie much as a child." Oh well, I reckon he never washed it down with beer.
