I really need to go to QVM one of these days and stock up on those delicious African ready made meals. Their fish stew I had a few years ago... I can still taste it! 🤤

That’s where I got my jollof. Kunle is a good bloke

I'm a recovering addict of the biltong they sell

My biltong place shut up shop recently. No more biltong for me.

Biltong.com.au is good

Ah someone recommended that place to me. I haven’t tried it yet though because it ships from Sydney I think.

I have fond memories of the candied salmon...

YES IT WAS SO GOOD OMG

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 points 7 months ago

Do they not have it any more?!?!!! I will be sure to try some when I go next, if they have it. I'll save up for it!

Benny’s a delight. I’ve been going to this specific stall for long enough that he knows to expect me
