Since there are many beer festivals in Cape Town happening during the next few weeks, we had a look at some beers you should think twice about drinking. I don’t think these are available in South Africa but you have been warned – drink at own risk! 1. Beer for Dogs Those hoping to get…
When the drink was first produced in 1888, Coca-Cola had two key ingredients: cocaine & caffeine. The cocaine was derived from the coca leaf while the caffeine from a kola nut. This lead to the name Coca-Cola. A future multi-million dollar company was born. The original Coca-Cola forumlar once contained an estimated nine milligrams of…
Up until now, I have always used to joke about what actually gets served in Thai restaurants, but I was never serious about it! After seeing this picture, I think I will stop making jokes.
My best friend is homeless. I walked past her as she sat on the side of the road and we had that instant connection. Soon we were besties. No I’m lying, but not about the homeless bit. She was in denial that her lease was ending until the day it ended. She moved in with…
I got the idea of compiling a list of South African Food & Wine blogs after reading a post by RunningWolfsRant and his list of South African Bloggers on Twitter. I thought, why not do the same but concentrate on food & wine. Plus, this will make #ff so much easier. These blogs don’t appear in…
Nussecken can be translated as nutty corners but that sounds just weird – I prefer Nussecken.

Ingredients for the Pastry: 200mg flour…

During April 2010, a photographer named Sally Davies went to her local McDonalds and bought herself a Happy Meal. However, she had no intention of eating it…she only took photos – 180 of them for 180 days. Now, I’m no expert but if I go for a holiday and leave a sandwich on the kitchen…
I love going to the movies and do so about once or twice per month even though the ticket prices are somewhat rediculous. I’ve been told that tickets in Europe are around 15 Euros so we shouldn’t be complaining here in South Africa. Also, I don’t buy into the Hollywood hype of some of the…
When I think of a bottle of wine, the juice of fermented grapes immediately comes to mind. But there are also other ingredients one can use to make excellent and quality wine. Some of these ingredients include root vegetables, blackberries, plums, cereals, flower petals and rose hips. You certainly won’t find many of these types…
I love browsing the internet and StumbleUpon has recently become my new best friend. Some may call it ‘a waste of time’ but this weekend has been very educational: I now know more about the lost city of Atlantis & Plato than ever before. Plus, I’m really getting into Greek mythology – it’s been very…
