Each year on the 24th September, us SOUTH AFRICANS celebrate our heritage.
It is a public holiday here, so we get to sleep in late
(amongst other things!).jpg)
You might ask...
WHAT do we celebrate?
HOW do we celebrate?
We celebrate and showcase our beautiful country with all its magnificent scenery!
We celebrate our wild life...our fauna & flora...and the incredible diversity which this country protects.
We celebrate our
R A I N B O W N A T I O N:
The diversity of our people, our languages and our cultures!
Did you know that SOUTH AFRICA has
ELEVEN OFFICIAL LANGUAGES!?
We celebrate the enormous array of Traditional crafts...
...and each year, since 2007, HERITAGE DAY has ALSO become
NATIONAL BRAAI DAY!
Throughout the way there will be wafting smoke in the air with mouthwatering aromas of grilling meat.There will be music, laughter and partying!
(Some of us DOGS will just have to watch!)But there will be food...lots of it!
Mom has decided to give you the recipe for our

Gee, Max, that last picture is rather incriminating. Ask your Mom please if American Corn Starch is the same as what is in your recipe. Hope you have a great holiday.
Tucker and Daisy
Happy Heritage Day.....TQ for sharing stories about your beautiful country - you are a good guide and worthy ambassador for your country.

Hey there M&M
I am sure that ANY corn starch will do...it is merely to thicken the 'custard', so I am sure that even ordinary flour in it's place is also good (Obviously that would then mean that you double the flour quantity) Enjoy! Please let me know how it turned out...we have been baking this end too.

Happy Heritage Day Max! There sure is a lot to celebrate, no wonder you were tired at the end of the day. The recipe looks delicious but we have to wait until it cools down to make it...no ovens on when the AC is on here, LOL!
M,S & Kona
Happy Heritage Day!! thank-you for sharing with us!
Morgan and Maisie
Mom says this was a WONDERFUL post with so much to see and learn about! We think so to... especially that custard-like pie which we will be working on Mom to make since it looks like something WE can share with our people (and we get to share most anything they eat that won't hurt us)
Mom was fascinated by that basket the lady was working on. She's done beading and basket making, too at different times and she loves seeing things like that.
Hope the BBQ was good and you had a great Heritage Day! OC and the Country Corgi Crew
