Though the Afrikaans term padkos could be translated as 'road food', it bears no resemblance to the street-side noodles and sidewalk satays I enjoyed in Asia. Instead, it's food for the road, packed ahead and meant to be eaten on a trip. For our first stop, we had two dishes: frikadelle and sliced beef tongue. Though a little heavy for a morning snack, the frikadelle was easily likable, as it was well spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg and coriander. And though I hesitated a little before biting into the tongue, it was surprisingly tasty as well. It paired particularly well with a tangy peppadew chutney, giving it the distinctly South African combination of savoury and sweet.

I love experiencing my own country through your eyes!
Hi Xander,
I am so envious right now!
Ok, when you said 'road food', I thought you were going to write something about road kill cuisine -- you know, like fried beavers and mashed racoons, etc. Thank god, it was just about beef tongue and frikadelle and papadew chutney - would like to try those some day in South Africa.
wow, beef tongue? eek. glad you enjoyed it. :) that park looks incredible- why don't i travel more??
