This is a traditional South African dish. It came with the Dutch many moons ago. It is particular popular under the Afrikaans speaking people but that doesn't mean nobody else likes it. I say it is 8 portions but in my experience I have found if I get 6 out I am lucky as everybody wants a bigger slice! Read more Enjoy See less
