Hey hey,
We have just arrived in Botswana after over indulging somewhat in Namibia. Namibia (and South Africa and Zimbabwe while we’re on the topic) is a country where meat rules. We have always loved getting to Namibia on trips South after the poorer meat up North, however when coming from 2 months at home we definitely didn’t require the large quantities of meat we consumed and we definitely over did it!
Now to paint a picture for you the meat sections of Namibian supermarkets trump supermarkets from our home country by a long shot, when shopping for meat at Christmas we stumbled across a 4.5kg steak! And that’s not even close to what’s available in the butcheries!!
So a big stopping point for us in Namibia is Swakopmund, a German influenced town, with adrenaline activities on offer alongside lots of huge meaty food! Malcolm had previously been challenged by a ‘Terminator’ sandwich, inch thick bread slices, the size of a dinner plate stuffed with mince, fried eggs, cheese, tomato and lettuce. Much to Malcolm’s disgust he was defeated by it and called a sissy by the waitress!
This time round Malcolm faced a new challenge a 2kg double rack of ribs, while me and Christine, another girl off our trip struggled with sharing the 1kg “baby'” ribs, Malcolm battled his way through the double and…… Succeded!!!!
Psyched up from the success of the ribs his next challenge was the Tsunami burger a burger literally bigger than his head! The burger was stuffed to the brim with meat, sauce and all the trimmings. It proved quite a challenge to eat outside a nice flashy coffee shop and while guys walked past giving looks of respect, the girls who passed definitely looked disgusted (me included). Sadly the burger won on this challenge making Malcolm surrender and even go as far as to say he needs to change his diet.
So we are currently in Botswana and starting a new healthy eating diet. Bring it on!!!!
Love
