"Can't compare UK food to SA. Hands down, we are the best. Try our Cape Town fish and chips not bland cod. Try our South African breakfast with boerewors, not black pudding. Try our Cape Malay curries. And real boere kos. Bro, you're wasting your time and ours with pies. Ps and get yourself a real Gatsby while you're here. Here we do real food done real good."
