Another favourite of mine, and a tradition in Durban, is the famous Bunny Chow...Now, this has nothing to do with the long eared rodent often fed to Boas and Pythons...This is something much better!!
You start off with a loaf of very fresh, un-sliced, white bread. Preferable with a crispy crust. Next, you need a nice spicy curry, chicken, beef, mutton, any one of those will do. Cut yourself a 1/4 loaf, or even a 1/2 loaf is you're hungry, and then hollow it out! You need to take the bread, out of the crust, but you also need to make sure that the walls of your bread "container" are not too thin, or it'll burst open. Then, you take the curry, and put it inside the bread!! The bread that you hollowed out, should have come out as one big lump of bread, practice makes perfect!! This lump of bread is there to mop up the sauce, and then you eat the curry, and tear off the bread crust as you go along, so that by the time you finish it, you'll have no curry or bread left.
Curry is super popular here, because 150 years ago, the owners of the sugar cane plantations brought Indian workers out here to cut the cane and harvest it. With them came the Indian Mynah bird, that has now taken over, lol, Mango trees, that did the same, and curry, that is now enjoyed by all Durbanites. In fact, the curry we get here is now known as Durban Curry, and is available at all good corner food shops, cafe's, and small indian restaurants, and in all those places you'll be able to buy a Bunny Chow!!!
