Bunny Chow
It can honestly vary, there is definitely healthy ways to make it, but truth be told if you get it from a place in Durban it probably won't be healthy. This is because there are refined grains, added sugar, lots of acidic sauce, and likely too many calories for just one meal. However, there is definitely healthy ways to make it, and I'm not saying all are unhealthy, but most will be.

Durban, South Africa
Bunny chow over the years has become one of Durban's most popular exports! It is usually called a ‘bunny’ which brings back childhood memories for many durbaners/durbanites who back in the day would stop for a bunny chow on their way home from late night clubbing.
What country is this cuisine from or a part of?
This is my personal favourite foods for multiple reasons. The first being due to it's exquisite taste, as I am a big fan of savoury food as this meal has great texture and taste. It is also high in carbs, protein and fibre which, is great if you are bulking/lean bulking like me. Lastly, it is a traditional food for me as I am South African, so it is made fairly frequently in my home.
