Boerewors Goes International

#TheDrive with Skrypt: Tyla’s pap and wors recipe has Mzansi buzzing!

As Vogue’s March cover star, Tyla opens up about her meteoric rise to superstardom, and in the accompanying Now Serving video, in homage to her Johannesburg roots, she prepares a childhood favourite and a South African staple: pap, chutney, and boerewors, with a classic margarita on the side. (We’re not sure if the latter counts as a childhood staple, but it definitely makes for more relaxed cooking and a distraction from any kitchen chaos.) This looks like a plate that is familiar to many and that’s because it is. Of all the items Tyla ‘introduced’ to the world there is one that stands head and shoulders above the rest. One that is so versatile that it can find itself on a dish in the morning, afternoon and evening. Citizens of the world Tyla introduces you to boerewors.

Boerewors is what makes a house a home and should be a staple in every household. That begs the questions however; ‘What food would you add to complete the dish?’ I for one cannot sit and enjoy the dish without a nice cold Coca Cola to wash down all the flavours and spices. Why stop there? Perhaps a full Sunday plate to liven up the dish. Beetroot salad, potato salad and, garlic bread and a nice fried corn to really feed the soul. Tyla left out a number of staple items on a classic South African/Namibian plate but we are just happy she has catapulted the staple into the stratosphere of stardom; boerewors.

Tyla has helped boerewors go international with her Vogue issue, the superstar’s reel on British Vogue’s Instagram account is currently their most viewed video to date! What are you waiting for? The boerewors won’t fry itself!
