Twittersphere went wild with delicious debate after a Cape Town foodie and social media influencer posted a picture of a traditional tripe and trotters meal to his account.
Along with a photo of a sumptuous plate of cabbage, beans, tripe, and pap, @GomolemoSA_, aka Uncle Gee, wrote:
“Would you be able to eat this meal?”

@Prof_HUDGEMAE said:
“This is gourmet… Our realities have shaped our palates and skills... The worst cook will find it hard to ruin this. Only thing that could go wrong is insufficient washing beforehand. This is the tastiest ish, Period."

@Chymamusique commented:
“Yes, I eat this when I’m really in my zone.”
@ElChubbinho said:
“No, leftovers.”
@StatsCCM said:
“No because… archar e kae?!”
@MartinDibetso said:
“That pap is to young if not small.”
@ConsiderationL3 highlighted the fact that many people will be going hungry this Christmas and the dish looked like a proper meal.
“If I had no choice yes I would. I ate the worst food in the army so if I have another option, I will choose it. It is a meal, there is so much hunger in our country and there is also meat on that plate. If you say you would never then you have not been hungry in your life.”

“What is to "be able”? When you got food on the plate and a hungry stomach, or we coming in Stomachs full?”
Dish of chicken intestines and brown pap has some peeps disgusted and others ready to dig in
Briefly News previously posed the question of whether readers would eat chicken curry intestines, chicken feet and brown pap?
That was the question posed by Twitter user @GomolemoSA_ after posting a photo of a rather interesting plate of food on the timeline. A Twitter user shared a dish of a peculiar combination of food on the timeline and Mzansi is intrigued.
The dish includes chicken intestines and feet, cabbage, a side of atchar and brown pap. Yes, brown pap, and it has users confused as to how exactly it came out this way.
