Honest verdict on Melktert — good but not exceptional

Melktert here was solidly made — spiced and savoury without anything to complain about. dried biltong was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

the braai is a cross-cultural South African institution that transcends racial and social divides. The a shebeen township tavern atmosphere was pleasant enough. Castle Lager was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Melktert this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
