What To Feed A Bridal Shower For South African Bride In USA?
My friend is from Durban, South Africa and she lives here in the USA. She has asked my wife to host her bridal shower, and my wife has volunteered me to be the caterer and bartender.
I would like to come up with a few dishes that will remind my friend of her home. We live near Los Angeles so pretty much any kind of food is available if we look for it, but I don't know any recipes or very much about food from South Africa.
The guest list will be about a dozen women, ranging in age from their 20's to their 50's. About half of them are from the US (mainly California) and about half of them are her friends and family from South Africa (mainly around Durban and Cape Town).
I assume most of the guests will eat meat, although I will certainly want at least one vegetarian dish anyway. By way of booze, I'd like ideas for cocktails that incorporate Amarula to supplement the Stellensbosch wines I'll have available.
EDIT: My wife is the maid of honor (or is that "matron" of honor?) and since she's as American as I am, she's not a good resource for this. The bride's mother is still in RSA and isn't much of an internet user as far as I can tell, but I'll give my wife a mission of seeing if she can get in touch.
I'm also not sure that serving what amounts to thick-cut beef jerky is appropriate for a bridal shower. Really?

Lol at biltong and boerewors rolls, do not serve these, they are very "casual" foods. Basically, serve whatever blows your hair back. Italian, Sushi, a roast, we are quite cosmopolitan in Durban (I can almost hear people from Cape Town and JHB laughing at me when I say this, but it's true). Definitely get a vegetarian dish.
Booze (plenty of it) is a must.
