Bunny Chow on Florida Road

Durban is home to a large population of immigrants, particularly from India. A marketing slogan you see around town is, "Durban: Hot Beaches, Hot Curries." In Durban, Indian curry meets up with Wonder Bread in a delightful combination called Bunny Chow. To make it, they take a loaf of bread, chop in a third or a quarter, hollow it out to form a bowl, and ladle curry into it. So it's a bowl you can eat! Delicious.

We sampled our Bunny Chow at a restaurant called A Taste of India on Florida Road, a pleasant restaurant and bar neighborhood up the hill a bit from the beach. They wrapped up trees Africa-style for the World Cup festivities...

And the restaurants welcomed the world...

After watching the Netherlands defeat Denmark at the Europa Cafe, we returned that night to a Greek restaurant called Santorini. The proprietor is a super-nice guy who took care of us while we watched Paraguay take an early lead over Italy only to see the Azzurri get a late equalizer. Florida Road is a very nice section of the city.
