Good Morning. I thought we needed to tackle the bed on which we enjoy all our stews, braais, potjies, curries, amasi accompaniments and breakfasts.
The Battle of the base Carb!
Sadly I tried to Google the various different names across South Africa for all the different variants mielie meal is made into but nothing came up beyond the mention of Phutu (and a wiki page showing names for the whole of Africa).
As a result, I'll leave it to one language as to try not disrespect anyone I may leave out. So all the names will be the Afrikaans names but please select the one which best matches the texture you enjoy in the style of your culture. It doesn't have to be done the afrikaaner way.
Please can everyone also educate us by writing in the comment section what your favorite mielie meal dish is, what's its name and what sort of meal do you have it with or as?

Fight of the 'on the move' meals!
Recap:
I started this thread for specifically south African things. I will try do 2 (maybe 3 with the number to get through in less than 10 days) a day.
Im just trying to do something fun while in covid isolation until New Years day.

... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
They’re on standbi
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
What did 0 say to 8 ?

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
