Boerewors has to be made just right, with the right amount of vet (fat) and spices.  And, it has to be cooked just right as well, not to long and not to hot.

No one wants to eat blackened at the edges cardboard!   

We make it ourselves, its really quite simple to do, so long as you have the sausage machine to help you fill the 'skins'.

As a child in SA, I saw it being made on farms and in butcheries and in the quantities required, huge, old wooden table tops were spread with the gemaalde vleis (mince), vet (fat), spices etc and mixed by hand, on the bare tables.  The wood added to the flavour!   

Here in the UK you can buy it, not necessarily in shops specializing in South African merchandise, but from some butchers as well.
