The tourists from Britain decided to try South African food in Cape Town. They sat down at the restaurant and showed off the food that was presented as typical South African food.
In a video on TikTok, @skirmy posted that he and his travel companion were in South Africa and enjoying it so far. They were curious about the food and decided to try seven colours after getting some recommendations.
They went to a restaurant where they found a vegetarian version of seven colours. When it came, the plate included coleslaw, beetroot, chakalaka, a vegetable skewer, as well as pap that was cooked in cheesy bowls stacked on his skewer. The other seven colourd plates included the same, except the pap was replaced with steamed bread.
Seven colours is a reference to a colourful plate of South African food. The dishes typically on a seven colour plate are beetroot, pumpkin, spinach, rice, meat and salads, and the name also refers to how there have to be dishes of several colours on the plate.

"That's not seven colours, I'm sorry, that's a European spin off on what they think a seventh colour dish should be and not embracing the authenticity of it."

"So “seven colours' is highlighting the visual diversity of the meal, the rule is that your plate must have several (seven) colours, like you're being served a rainbow in food form."
