Bunny chow<\/strong><\/p>\n

The city of Durban has a reputation of being the curry capital of South Africa, making it a fine destination for foodies as well. In the 1800s, thousands of migrant workers were brought from India to work on the sugarcane plantations. Many chose to build a home in South Africa, and their descendants still live in Durban. A unique trademark of Indian food in South Africa is the bunny chow, a half loaf of bread that has been hollowed out and filled with delicious curry. You have to eat at least one bunny chow when in Durban!<\/p>\n
