Inside Africa

I would not shop at this store, but there is sure to be a large customer base who flock here because they are a specialty food store selling South Africa goods.
I noticed the bags of Biltong on the counter while I can appreciate must be a delicacy however to the uninitiated the dried and spiced marinated beef bits did not say «eat me».
It is encouraging to see a B grade hygiene rating in the store window as frankly the shop didn’t look incredibly appealing. The goods are displayed in a practical, matter of fact way on the shelves however what will be more important to lovers of South African goods is that they can be purchased here.
I noticed lots of cooking and baking condiments, packets of spices particular to this cuisine, powdered custard did not however strike me as being of South African descent.
There was a range of beauty products along with the food items. Should you be so inclined, you can still purchase a Rugby World Cup logo South Africa shirt here from here.

Oh man every time I walk into Inside Africa the temptation to start doing the pantsula is more than intense. I have waddled in the shop sometimes just to calm down. It smells like home and they have food and sweets that remind me of home. Whenever I’m homesick, I head there and buy a packet of jelly tots and biltong just to comfort myself. It is the place to go because African food has distinct flavour that cannot be found elsewhere, I go there with my mum to buy soups, spices, custard powder, pro nutro, impala and sweets. I love everything there and each trip we walk out with crème soda and simba chips. It’s a little taste of home.
