Bunny Chow = Best South African Invention EVER!!!

What is Bunny Chow? It is a delightful dish made by taking half a loaf of white bread and scooping out the insides to make a deep bowl/cup. Then you fill in the hole with your favourite curry filling, then you put the bread insides back on top and if you like, you can have more curry poured on top of the bready/curry-y concoction. Then you eat it with your hands.

This was available in Cape Town but we waited until Durban to get some at the place they originated: Patel's Vegetarian Refreshment Stand. Around town they are commonly referred to as 'bunnies' and seem to be available at EVERY fast food/kebap stand.

Check it out!!

They were available in S, M, L and half loaf. Since we assumed it was usually served as a half loaf, based on descriptions of what it was, Colin ordered 'half loaf'. All of the locals in the place stop and looked up at us at the same time. A friendly Indian couple behind us then told us they each ordered smalls. At this point, Colin and I decided to share the half loaf. We were sooooo full!!!
