The Butcher Shop and Grill is excellent. One of those restaurants
where one orders meat, plus a separate order for potato and a
separate order for mushrooms and a separate order for vegetables and
a separate order for whatever elsoe one wants. Quite the opposite
of those "eat as much as you like" buffets that are often quite,
quite revolting. Of course, this costs quite a lot. I have only
ever eaten at The Butcher Shop twice. I purchased a fillet from
them once which they prepared into carpaccio for a dinner party. I
discussed it on s.c.s-a at the time.
I've never been able to understand the obsession with T-bone steaks.
A T-bone is essentially two different steaks and needs two different
treatments so it is devilish difficult to prepare well.
Pinotage is an excellent wine with a steak. It's often overpowering
for food with more delicate flavours.

If you like your meat rare then it shouldn't be a problem to undercook it.
I have found that Australians make a very palatable Merlot - try it if you
can.
I have fond memories of a place in Windhoek called Joe's Bar. Also a meat
fest with 'sides'. Everything is cooked in the open on large braai's - the
smells were fantastic and the portions massive.
Get there if you can.

Yes, we went to Joe's a few times. We lived in Swakopmund for 7 years and
had our favourite restaurants there: there are 25 restaurants and bars in
that tiny town!
Our favourite buffet was at Swakopmund Station Hotel, The Tug on the beach
and of course the Lighthouse restaurant. We regularly had oysters and gin
and tonics at Langstrand Beach (the pier).
I grew up in PMB and my husband took me to a few good restaurants there
before we went to Nam. Loved the curries.

--------------------------
We were in Windhoek on holiday earlier on this year (Verity hadn't seen
the desert properly before) and enjoyed an evening there very much.
Actually, I preferred Windhoek to Swakopmond this time, quite the
opposite from my previous experience. I was also surprised at how
shabby Swakopmond seemed and how surprisingly up market, in comparison,
Walvis Bay.

Wow, I've only been away for 3 years and things have changed. I wonder why.
Walvis was always a harbour city with the accompanying smells, sounds ,
people. Swakop however, was the tourist town full of foreigners/backpackers.
I loved living there.
We hated Windhoek as it was dry and fast. Better shopping though.

Ons sit en kruispos natuurlik. Maar ja, ons almal
het maar dubbele standaarde. Ons was so teen
daardie Switser wat so gekruispos sit, en hier
doen ek dieselfde. Maar dit is darem in die familie.
Dit gaan oor SA dinge. Of selfs oor jou geliefde
Namibië.

(Forgive me for not replying to you in Afrikaans - it is not good enough.)
She filmed in Namibia when I lived there. In fact she rented a house on the
beach not far from my house. Never saw her though.
I believe she has gone back there to have her baby. They have been ensconced
in an exclusive game reserve with hundreds of professionals to help her give
birth. Something to do with adopting an African child and her experiencing
what they went through when they were born. I don't think so.

Ja, ek sal dit moet verander. Ek pos nou op
Google, en ek is bang ek upset the apple cart
as ek iets verander. Maar ek kan probeer.
Ek wonder nog altyd hoekom die alt.
languages.afrikaans se taal Duits is.
Boaan waar ek nou tik, sê dit die volgende:
"Wenn Sie in dieser Gruppe Nachrichten posten,
ist Ihre E-Mail-Adresse für jeden im Internet
sichtbar." Beteken dit nie dat ek moet aanneem
dat my regte eposadres sal verskyn, en ek dit
nie kan verander nie?

Weet nie. Ek vind Google se NG-hantering lomp - soos enige web brower
based-aanbieding. Ek gebruik eerder Agent.
My common sense se egter jy sal jou e-pos heel waarskynlik kan
verander soos jy wil?

Ey then you will love Johnnie's Rotis in Overport Durban - best eaten at 3am
in the morning after a good Cabernet, or Castles or Klippies & Cokes or
whatever.
A delicate and seasoned taste and it's not half as purgative as the rubbish
at Beachfront Bunny Chow.

Ey then you will love Johnnie's Rotis in Overport Durban - best eaten
at 3am
in the morning after a good Cabernet, or Castles or Klippies & Cokes or
whatever.

-------------
I'm sure that the worst that the Beachfront Bunny Chow can fling at a
delicate tum is nothing at all compared to what Twiggies Pie cart in
the old Market car park could. The cowboy with hotters from Twiggies
could scour a blast furnace to a sheen that even its foundary wouldn't
recognise.
Sell by dates were at an early stage when I visited Twiggies, but they
might have provided a sound case study in the danger of not having them
on pies. Twiggie would scour the cafes of pmburg for aged pies and sell
them over the evening, keeping the most prehistoric back for the early
hours of the morning when the customers would be sufficiently bladdered
not to throw up on whiffing their pie from a distance of two metres.
When I visited India my tum sneered at the soft, wimpy sort of
'challenge' that food from the local markets provided - a tummy that
had met an early morning Twiggies meal and survived had nothing to fear
from mere Indian bacteria.
I'm keen on chillies still, but I have yet to meet anything, including
Dave's Insanity Sauce that can leave such a deep and long established
raw body-length track of heartburn as Twiggie's hotters.
Thinking about it, it is possible that the chap who died on the
collapsing bog had just deposited the remains of a Twiggies pie into it
- that'd explain the weakness in the porcelain.

I got a crazy mate who likes to insert mother in laws tongue chillies into a
piece of boerewors and then cook it on the old braai. The problem is that he
gets a little bit irresponsible and lets the "boerie that bites back" get
mixed up with everyone elses boerie. This certainly promotes the consumption
of lots of beer.

Ey my sister makes Mrs Naidoo's curried chillies, and accidentally spilled
some on her kitchen counter i it stained the melamine and after a few months
it started to crack. The brutha in law launched in some granite tops so now
she is happy. We used to smear said curried chilli sauce onto microwaved
potatoes which I think would have equipped us for the harshest of Indian
cuisine.
At one stage we had a family that moved in next door to us and the father
was a sorry alcoholic due to the emotional devastation of his wife's death.
They were a very brave sibling led family of wonderful boys and their mom
would have been proud of them. My son used to play with them and I did not
mind because they were basically good kids, but their language was foul and
so in order to put him on the straight and narrow I used to put chilli sauce
in his mouth - it worked for a while - well he is not given to swearing but
loves curries. Johnnies rotis can do their worst - he still eats it, but we
draw the line at Beachfront Bunny.

I bought a bottle of curried chillies a week or so ago. I haven't
started tucking into them yet, I'm keeping them as a treat when the
'Bushman's Revenge' top-of-the-range sauce runs out.
