Not what um...the Europeans (forgot their name) introduced, but what was eaten before then and probably now.

woops, wrong category. If I don't get too many answers, I guess I'll have to delete this one.

These are South African dishes:
Bobotie. The origins of Bobotie can be traced back to the eastern influence on South African culture. The Cape Malay society are famous for cooking this dish and it is usually served with yellow rice.
Boerewors. Boerewors or Farmers Sausage is a traditional BBQ sausage. There are many secret recipes on how to make boerewors.
Sosaties. Sosaties on the BBQ have never tasted better especially when there is Boerewors on offer too. These kebabs can contain many types of meat (or vegetables) but lamb sosaties seem to always taste the best.
Oxtail Potjie. A Potjie Kos is a meal cooked in an iron pot over the fire. The way to cook a potjie is usually very slow. Many types of meat can be used for a potjie but oxtail is a favorite among the locals.
Vetkoek. The English have Yorkshire Pudding and the South Africans have Vetkoek! Fill it with mincemeat, cheese or any thing else that comes to hand.
Frikkadels. Frikkadels are like South African meat balls. This recipe is based on a tomato frikkadel.
Chicken Curry Potjie. Chicken Curry Potjie (pot) is a great way to be able to entertain and still enjoy a great meal by simply adding all the ingredients into a huge pot over the fire place and leaving to simmer.
South Africans also love to "braai" (barbeque), but I don't think that is a dish. Or is it?

I think that unlike other African regions, southern Africa as a region which includes SA, has integrated in their cuisine European recipes and thus the recipes have become part of the country's heritage and no longer seen as European or African, but as South African. Thus not any labled as from before white settlers came in the 1600s. Porgie did an excellent job of listing the ones we (and the world) consider to be native to South Africa. He did leave out "samp and beans" and "puttu pap" though, which is also integral part of South African cuisine.
