An American visitor has captured the attention of Mzansi after sharing his experience of trying traditional dishes at Kwa Coach in Soweto.

The video of his food-tasting adventure was shared by the tourist himself under the handle @trentonjdavis, which has since drawn interest online, with many South Africans applauding his enthusiasm for local cuisine.

In the clip, @trentonjdavis started with smoked turkey, taking a bite before immediately nodding in approval. “This right here is really good,” he said, making it clear that the dish had won him over. Each plate was served with pap, a staple in South African households.

He then moved on to smoked beef tongue, admitting he had never eaten it before and didn’t even know it was a common dish. After dipping it into a spicy chilli bean sauce, he tasted it and was pleasantly surprised.

“The beef smoke is good too,” he added.

The food journey did not stop there. @trentonjdavis also sampled pork meat, noting its rich flavour and how well it paired with the pap. Still, it was the smoked turkey that stood out as his clear favourite.

Throughout the video, the American expressed appreciation for the diversity of South African cuisine and how it had broadened his food experiences. Viewers online praised him for his open-mindedness, saying his reactions reflected genuine enjoyment rather than mere curiosity.

The TikTok user @trentonjdavis's video gained massive traction online, gathering many views, along with thousands of likes and comments.
