Ever go inland to Oudtshoorn (sp) and try ostrich eggs? I worked 3 years on the Oest Rand in the gold mines and the wife and I were the only white adults on bikes in the Evander-Marievale-Springs area. Are the bumper cars still running in your town's beach front amusement park. The House of Horrors was good fun. Our cat kept dragging in ground dwelling bats and tried to kill a cobra in the back yard. Good Times.

I had Ostrich eggs once, that was enough for me, same with mopani worms.
I would kill for some nice Kudu Biltong.
Ken, one of my coworkers was moving some cinder blocks and just happened to notice
a Rinkhals curled up in the opening of the one of the blocks, as you said, Good Times.
