Irish musician Garron Noone embarked on a hilarious culinary adventure of South Africa’s most iconic snacks. His journey was filled with laughter, confusion, and a whole lot of chewing!
Dublin, Ireland (08 October 2024) – Whether sweet or savoury, there is nothing quite like a lekker snack to feed a random craving, enjoy game day with friends or just see you through a really long day.
Indulging himself in South Africa’s unique treats was Irish musician and comedian Garron Noone, who had us laughing out loud after sharing his experience of our unique flavours, which completely caught his pallet off-guard!
In the funny video, Garron starts off by tasting dry sausage, known to us as droëwors, which he admitted he was most afraid of. Describing it as extremely chewy, Garron said it was a powerful attack of meat on the tongue but was a fan of it nonetheless.
He gave biltong a go next and advised his friends planning a trip to South Africa to bring their strongest chewing muscles.
He washed down the meaty snacks with a Spar-Letta cream soda, whose bright green hue caught him off guard.
“There’s definitely some artificial colouring there. That does not look like a natural green colour. It’s delicious. Tastes like cream soda. Tastes absolutely nothing like it looks. So it’s a bit of a culture shock when you’re looking at it.”
Garron completed his culinary adventure with some sweet goodness, the koeksister – whose pronunciation he hilariously butchered, by the way!
He wasn’t sure what to compare it to, likening it to a gooey fruit or a Danish of sorts.
“I have absolutely no idea what it is. A kind of oily pastry that’s been dipped in a sugary syrup. It’s nice. It’s confusing but it’s got flavour. One of the weirdest things I’ve ever held in my hand and now it’s in my body. I’m a fan of this,” he shared hilariously.
The post’s comments section was riddled with banter and funny commentary from social media users who were amused by the Irishman’s take on the local snacks.
Well, our food may have given him quite the culture shock but at least it was a good one, LOL!
