Tennis biscuits and custard

We can officially say that the year is coming to an end because I got my Christmas food. 

Growing up my grandmother would always buy Tennis Biscuits and Cold Drink. It was our dessert and we loved it, I mean who wouldn't love such beautiful food? I mean... 

Anyway I want to tell you about this beautiful food I was introduced to by Nontsikelelo Nkombisa when we used to stay together theeeeeeere very far. She bought custard and tennis biscuits and she has some. There I was obviously wanting some. She game me... I have never been so taken far by food. She spread the custard on the tennis biscuits and there we were licking our lips and fingers. 

Today, I bought some and had some and there I was trying not to cry because it was just too nostalgic. I missed uMantsikiza, I know she probably doesn't have anymore because I'm not near her. 

We had this once, but this was the best thing to ever bring us together. Ruru, thanks for introducing me to this nice thing. This will be my Christmas meal. 

Onwards and Upwards :)

Roy's Loaded Potatoes... 

I wish I could leave this post without anything else because Roy's loaded potatoes are indescribable. The taste, the look, the overall beauty. Oh goodness. 

Roy is a beautiful and bubbly lady I love with all my heart. No, not because she makes me good food but because she is very cool, I mean very cool. She made me a salad once, the simple gesture of food touching my mouth became an adventure I did not want to end. Well because this salad was too nice. Anyway, she then made loaded potatoes that had sun dried tomatoes, cheese and well halved, soft and un-mashed potatoes and these were heavenly. I had a foodgasm and a half when I had the first bite, please keep in mind that I said bite, imagine the whole plate of food. The plate was filled with other things but these loaded potatoes were the star of the meal. 

She keeps bringing some and each time I have them I just cannot believe that these are the same potatoes. The taste is always different. I love that, a lot. We fall in and out of love with food from time to time and to this day I can honestly say that I haven't fallen in love with any meal like I did with Roy's Loaded Potatoes. 

Upwards and Onwards :)
