Bunny chow is a slang term for a South African fast food consisting of a loaf of bread, with the inside scooped out, and filled with curry. Bunny chows are commonly filled with curries made using traditional recipes from Durban: mutton or lamb, chicken and bean curries are the more popular fillings. Read more Bunny chows are often served with a side portion of grated carrot, chilli and onion salad, commonly known as sambals. Bunny chows come in quarter, half and full loaves. Bunny chows are strictly a messy fingers affair & us locals find the use of utensils quite amusing. See less
