Just about anything by Terry Pratchett, Tom Sharpe & Barbara Kingsolver.

* Kugel is a South African female who normally talks in a nasally whine with a gross exaggeration of the typical accent. She'll hail from the 'better' suburbs of the city, drive the latest Mercedes, wear designer clothes, perfumes, shoes etc & have 2.4 children who do extra ballet, horseriding, golf, tennis lessons etc. in order to keep up with the Bothas's next door. Hubby will be grey by the age of 30, smoke spliff on the quiet, frequent discreet brothels, max out every credit card possible & take out a 2nd bond (mortgage) to pay the 1st one. He will swear at the maid if she hasn't cleaned his golf shoes, but like his wife, expect the maid to raise his children, because after all, he's working so many long hours to pay for her.............blah blah blah

** Boerewors are beastly looking sausages, normally sold in a coiled fashion, of at least one metre in length. They contain ingredients such as bits of cow meat, pig meat, sheep meat, kudu meat, gemsbok meat, cat meat, the odd cockroach, several flies, spices to disguise, breadcrumbs, minced fat & sawdust. They are normally cooked on a braai, which in other languages is a barbeque/BBQ.

Black pudding is congealed pigs blood, compacted into a black coloured skin (like a sausage skin) & is normally fried. It is utterly disgusting, altho Hubs likes it. There's mention of it somewhere in Keefieboy's blog as well. He eats the stuff as well, so his description is no doubt far more tasty than mine!

***Gonubie is a small town about 12km from East London/Buffalo City/WeHaven'tDecidedWhatTribalNameToGiveItYet in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. If you look at a map & see Cape Town, follow the coast down & the next town is Port Elizabeth, followed by East London & almost 700km further on, Durban.
