Tyla misses wors and . . .

SOUTH Africans living abroad often express their longing for authentic Mzansi food.

A while ago, singer Tyla shared in an interview that she always ensures she has a supply of maize meal to make pap.

In a recent post, Tyla mentioned missing boerewors rolls. She wrote: "I miss boerewors rolls, Yoh!"

Former Miss South Africa Shudufhadzo Musida, who is pursuing her studies in America, also chimed in, saying she misses biltong.

She said: "I thought I caught a whiff of biltong today and I almost cried."

A few years ago, former Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi sparked conversation when she revealed she missed Aromat spice while in New York.

Other South Africans living abroad have mentioned missing a variety of foods, including tin fish, rooibos tea, Rajah spices, Knorrox, Six Gun spice, Jungle Oats, peanut butter, custard, Koo beans, samp, and Weet-Bix to name a few.

Even alcoholic beverages like Savanna and various snacks such as Appletizer, Stoney Ginger Beer, Pine Nuts, Cheese Curls, Ultra Mel, chocolates, Smarties and Jelly Tots have made the list.

To satisfy their cravings, some people resort to ordering authentic Mzansi products from South African shops abroad, like those run by well-known cook Fikile Zungu or ask family members to send them their favorite items.

Others make sure to pack suitcases full of beloved treats before heading overseas.
