Happy Independence Day!

South Africans generally don’t give a second thought to the American Independence Day, but we at SouthAfricanFoodies.co.za take every opportunity we can to celebrate food, so why not this one? We think this is a great excuse to entertain, so take your hat off to John Hancock (the guy that signed the Declaration of Independence), George Washington and Abe Lincoln.

Why not hold a typical American barbeque with burgers and hotdogs on the grill. Alternatively, if you don’t feel like venturing out into the winter cold, perhaps serve up oven-fried chicken, a shrimp dish such as Bayou Fried Shrimp or a hearty meatloaf. Dessert could feature Apple or Pecan Nut Pie. There’s always the option of holding a movie marathon (think “Forest Gump”, “Born On The Fourth Of July” or “Independence Day”) with buckets of popcorn dripping in extra butter!

Have a great weekend, and remember, always find an excuse to celebrate food!
