Boerewors

Boerewors is a South African sausage that's shaped into a coil and must contain at least 90% meat, while the other 10% consists of spices (nutmeg, allspice, cloves, black pepper...) and other ingredients. The fat in the meat must not exceed 30%. The sausage must contain beef, but it can also have lamb, pork, or a combination of both, while offal or mechanically processed meat is forbidden. The name boerewors is derived from two words – boer, which means farmer, and wors, which means sausage. Boerewors is traditionally grilled on the braai (South African barbecue), and it's usually served with pap and sous (sauce). Alternatively, the sausage can also be placed into a bun and eaten as a hot dog with a tomato and onion relish on top, when it's known as boerie.
