The new generation of computers works quite differently to the old. Son M. (verbally) asked wife E.'s computer: "How many pigs do you need to make potjiekos (pot food)?" The computer's reply: "So you want to raise pigs?"
OBSERVATION: While potjiekos is typically thought to be African, it was originally -- as the name suggests -- a Dutch method of cooking. The potjie is a form of
Dutch Oven, which was used for hundreds of years in Europe -- however the African version has a rounded rather than a flat bottom. The photo shows my sister-in-law making potjiekos.
