Traditional South African Farmhouse Breakfast

What better way to spoil your family than with this full farmhouse breakfast. We love to see a big table surrounded by the family and a breakfast spread fit for a king. Nobody else in the world can serve a breakfast to her family like a South African mama. Lamb chops, boerewors, steak and all the trimmings.

This is certainly not a breakfast to be enjoyed daily, as your general practitioner won’t be very happy with you or your cholesterol levels. However, every once in a while a traditional farmhouse breakfast is really yummy.

With so much on offer there surely won’t be any family members complaining about this spread.
