ha. a ha. once was enough. but really, you have to do it. my students are also encouraging me to try malana (chicken feet aka runaways aka walkaways), mogodu (tripe in tomato sauce), and mautwana (i don't rememeber but you know it's something, uh, special). and the sheep's head. a delicacy. i'll let you know what transpires.

For the record, it's not mango chutney, it's called Achar (but sounds like Acha).

Lara. You would probably have a fit if you came to Mamelodi. I don't think there are any neighborhood dieticians here! But, some people have gardens in their yards so that is encouraging...
