What is "boerewors"

n. A traditional home-made sausage, now commercially available.

Boerewors is a type of sausage popular in South African cuisine and Zimbabwean cuisine. The name is derived from the Afrikaans words ("farmer") and ("sausage"). Boerewors must contain at least 90 percent meat - always containing beef, as well as lamb or pork or a mixture of lamb and pork. The other 10% is made up of spices and other ingredients. Not more than 30% of the meat content may be fat. Boerewors may not contain any “mechanically recovered” meat (meat derived through a process where meat and bone are mechanically separated).
