As it is a reflection of the cities, Cultural Heritage, what is the unique mix of flavors . Welcome to a place where we said, i mean i forgot to, hadnt made pensions nice. If youre craving an Old Fashioned chocolate strawberry or not, i told you were looking in the wrong place here at the top. The top is the ice cream flavors on spied by african super fluids like tiger not sole government. Ty, apple, this little ice cream shop and cape tons alternative photo observer, 3 sub is no longer a hidden gym, just for locals to p. What changes the flavors every week and there anything but vanilla . This is the little fish leisure gets in the continental africa.

His 1st name, but it also means sweet sweet and his Mother Tongue sona. The molecular biologist locks to play with different flavors. So fathers in bob, we and has created more than 600. 00 each one more unique than the last top he was, sees his ice cream as an ode to the african continent. So im interested in creating conversation around going back to the foods that involves with the people in the land of continents is really important to me that between bracey i look, i did but what does ice cream made out of dried fish . Actually taste like i can do like a salt in this of the fish, as well as like the rich sweetness and the fracturing does from like the caramel and the top, the so called wild foods. All the latest trend in cape tons, calling every scene local plants, which were largely forgotten of the colonized nation of the cape on know, experiencing a revival across town in the community, got it, and kindly to township pharma, is all already profiting off this trend on top of the regular vegetables, like tomatoes, peppers and spinach, local super foods such as doing spinach, ice blonde cell or fix and spectrum, or once again popping up in harvest at 1st with some found it hard to believe that people would spend money on plants that are widely considered common weeds but skepticism is giving way to infuse yes and no doubt helped by the fact that they top up the monthly income quite nicely. Plans to be taking is the way they do the ice plant. Then when we pull up a lot and take to the chromebook, we just know its wonderful doing what. Wow, where is it . Just cool because even those when i show you are these include you just come out and then when i see it, i keep always cleaning, make it. Im asking for babies. I loved them to cool. Indigenous plants have adapted to the climate of the western cape. They quite literally grow like weeds no fertilizer needed for centuries. People switch them out for nutrition and integrated them into the diet. But with colonization and apartheid people were driven away from the ancestral lands. And so the knowledge about these wild foods vanished, but young people like waves though and seen tim bailey, are curious about their routes.

We did what is a big thing just to us, theres a lot of vegetables that were, you know, even though we are our editor, these my 1st time to get it within my mind. But im thinking about all of those coming up. Ive been showing, you know, way its been 4 years. Ive been trying it out with the students finish. It can also like help us economically, because if we can know and have knowledge and that we can cultivate this and send me this a to hotels, thats the only cub unemployment in our country to boost the economy. Because now we are introducing Something Different into the market because it is nutritionist at the same time. What once ended up on the funds comp us cheap is now most of the play to buy 5 scholarship. Rudy leaving the the executive chef of the luxury mountain nelson hotel has been incorporating local wild foods into his cruising for the past decade.

Got a lot to do with what . The people of south africa 8. Before we started putting out all the we, i mean thats what they would have lived on. Um, i mean, it was nutritious, it is healthy, its full of the payments, and thats why we putting it back into the place.

I know that they take the weather in underground ice cream follows or an order because these these passionate foods are gone. The extra mile to ensure a south african wild foods make a well deserved come back fish flavored ice cream.
