A woman’s latest cooking demonstration has sparked a fierce online debate, as her unconventional approach to preparing wors fails to win over viewers.

Boerewors is an iconic South African fresh sausage that has been a staple of the country's culinary heritage since the 17th century.

It is a coarse-ground, highly spiced sausage traditionally cooked on a braai (barbecue).

The name boerewors is derived from Afrikaans and Dutch words:

• "Boer" means farmer.
• "Wors" means sausage.

It is also known as "farmer’s sausage" because the tradition began with early settlers who adapted European sausage-making methods to local ingredients. The sausage was developed as a practical, transportable food for farmers and those on long journeys.
