South African recipes and clothing!? Help appreciated!?!
I looked up and found several, but all seemed pretty difficult... I am not unwilling to work hard at it, but I need something doable, ya know? XD
Also, we can get extra credit if we dress up a bit like natives, but the traditional clothes look very complicated... :( any easier ideas or things I could do to make something myself?
Answers:
You could make a "koeksister". It is a traditional South African treat made by the Afrikaners.
Here is a link to a recipe: http://www.justeasyrecipes.co.za/2009/08…
Most of the black people (Xhosa, Zulu) eat "mielie pap". It is basically the only thing they eat. They usually eat it with a traditional sosage called "boerewors". When eaten together we call it "tik"

"Braai" (BBQ) is a south African speciality. Grilling meat like stakes and sosages on coal. Most of us do it like once a week.
As for the clothes, i think Xhosa dresses would be the easiest.
