Popcorn

Not all popcorn in South Africa is what you think it is. That said, it would be pretty hard for you to not get what you wanted! A local delicacy in some parts of South Africa may taste like popcorn, but it’s far from it. This South African “popcorn” is actually termites or ants that have been roasted to crispy perfection!

    Really? When I wanted it, I prepared myself the popcorns. Different cultures, different recipies, what can I say. I’m glad I was born here, far of such menus!

    Take care and smile – the good ingredient in our life!❤️😘

    When I see popcorn I always remember my mother who forgot to put the cover on the cooking pot. She didn’t know what it was and thought it was rice. That was in the 50th and not known in Germany. You can imagine the mess in the kitchen

  18. Wing Commander Basil & The B Team – UK – Well, now there's a question! Furstly and most importantly I'm a cat if mew hadn't already guessed. I got my Wing Commander status in September 2018 but that hasn't slowed me up at all! I tweet, Instacat, FB, Tumble & Pin too and now there's Basil TV on YouTube. All in all I'm a thoroughly Modern Cat; a cat of the 21st century, mew might say. My human & Purrsonal Assistant aka P.A. is Cathrine Garnell, and she writes books including a tale about my fictional alter ego, Basil the Bionic Cat. [See Books Page] I live in a multi-cat household, and mew can meet the rest of The B Team here most days of the week, as they all like a turn on the blog. I like mice, but then don't we all? I also like fresh tuna, chicken and prawns. I LOVE catnip, not in any excess I might add before mew jump to any wild conclusions. Thanks so much for dropping by, as we The B Team, love making new furriends, so do leave us a comment and say hi.
    Wing Commander Basil & The B Team says:

    Thanks for letting us know, and I think we’ll pass on that!!! Sorry we’re late, but we were getting Basil’s Birthday Pawty ready!!! Stop by and join in the riot, oops, sorry fun!!!! MOL (Oh and thank mew, so, very very much for adding our links last week, mew are a STAR!!!)
