I found out recently that the 26 of June is now known as World Bunny Chow Day. I am so glad that the bunny chow has been given the recognition it deserves.
Originating as a meal for the poor in the apartheid days for a selected demographic , it has now turned out to be a worldwide phenomena enjoyed by every kind of people.
The bunny chow has evolved however. It started off as a vegetarian meal , then non-veg curries were added making it even better. In this present day bunny chows are being filled with every type of curry ie. Butter chicken, trotters and one of my favourites - potjie stew. Even the packaging of the bunny has evolved, from newspaper wrapping to plastic coated bunny boxes that open up into a large "plate".
Now that the bunny chow is fully recognised , the restaurants selling them need to know what made this so popular. It was the low price. Don't kill something good by making it a meal only for the rich.
Happy World Bunny Chow Day
