I know we all miss biltong and Castle, but what other products are really hard to get along without? The South African Embassy in Seoul sent me a questionnaire to fill in and all I have on it now is Mrs. Ball's chutney and Vicks Vapo Rub!

I know this question was asked before, but most of the answers were either biltong, koeksisters or SA beers! Any other ideas I can add to the list?

Boerewors, musk sweets, shield musk deodorant, huisgenoot, sarie, rooi rose magazine, bars of sunlight soap for stains, ricoffy and cremora, choccits and romany creams, klipdrift, red heart. And definitely melrose cheese spread! LOL I think we concentrate on food stuff, because it is comforting, and so part of childhood. But my list can go on and on.

Basically every burger you can get at STEERS, maaaaan that's the best fast-food-chain I ever knew!!! I wish I had that where I live. Second place: definetly boerwors! There was also one sort of pretzels (don't remember the brand, they were sold in a red bag) seasoned with some kind of pizza-flavoured powder, yummy! Sometimes I also miss the smell and taste of a lekker braai, mmmhhhh....
