THE GATSBY MARRIES THE BUNNY CHOW

In other parts of the world it is known as a Hoagie, Submarine, Blimpie, Spuckie, Sous-marin, Po’Boy, Tunnel, Zeppelin and many other names.
In Cape Town we call it a Gatsby.

In the UK and USA they call it a Bread Bowl, in Italy its Ciotola de Pane, in France its Bol en Pain, in Canada its a Coffin Lid.
In Durban they call it a Bunny Chow.

Food for Thought
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it – W C Fields

What these two meals have in common is that they are both essentially bread with a filling.

So what do you get when you marry the Gatsby and the Bunny Chow and take the fillings to another level?
Why does a Bunny Chow have to have curry in it?
Why must a Gatsby be limited to polony, viennas or marsala steak?
Why does a Gatsby and a Bunny Chow have to be in different shaped breads?

‘Are you with me’ as Bruce would say.

BEHOLD…..THE MEGABUSTA!
We’ll do the viennas and marsala steak etc, and we’ll do the curry.
But we will also do Frikkadel with onion and tomato smoortjie, Chicken strips with sticky sweet and sour sauce, Sugar Bean Bredie, Butter Chicken, Oxtail stew, Seafood curry and many others.

But wait, I perused, the people from the ‘koep huise’ won’t be seen dead with anything that resembles a Gatsby or a Bunny Chow.
They will do burgers, hotdogs, boerewors rolls etc, but sharing a moerse Gatsby or Bunny?
I can but never.

Simple.
For the people from the ‘koep huise’ we have….THE MINIBUSTA!
All the fillings of the Megabusta, available on or in a roll.

And then, for that special treat on payday, we do…THE ROTIBUSTA! (Salomies to the layman) Who said you can’t eat Tomato Bredie in a roti?
And for those not affected by the economic slump we have…THE MEALBUSTA!
All those delicious fillings served with Basmati rice or flaky Cape Malay Roti and the right sambal for the right meal.

‘Yes.’
‘This could work.’ I imagined.

And so I converted my dream into a goal, and at the end of May…….

HUNGABUSTAS at 126 Victoria Road Woodstock, next to Lewis Stores, will bring you all these mouth-watering Mega, Mini, Roti and Mealbustas!
Yummie!

Watch this space.
In fact, I suspect that my partners and I are soon going to plaster it all over the Interweb!
