South African food in USA
Authentic SA food guaranteed
The South African Food Shop in the USA guarantees that it only stocks “Bledie Lekker” biltong, boerewors and droewors – because it’s the real thing! They also stock all other favourite SA foods like Mrs H.S. Balls Chutney, Pecks Anchovette, Bakers Biscuits, All Gold Tomato Sauce, Nando’s Peri-Peri Sauces, Freshpak Rooibos Tea and of course – Ouma Rusks!
Biltong is rated number 1!
The rave reviews for the South African Shop’s biltong are unanimous. In fact, an Arizona resident claims: “You make the best biltong in the entire United States. No one else is even close!”
A South African collaboration
The South African Food Shop is the brain child of Jan Conradie who left Pretoria to settle in the United States and his old friend Fanie Viljoen. When Jan arrived in the USA, he quickly realised that there were certain South African flavours (like biltong) just not found in the USA. Fanie, who was a butcher by trade, lent his skills to the enterprise and showed Jan the best cuts to use for Biltong in the USA. Fanie also makes all the wors and bangers and they claim to be the first cyber ‘winkel’ with online wors in the world: www.southafricanfoodshop.com
