Awesome! Thank you for teaching me a new word. I know I didn’t follow any recipes strictly but we thought it turned out good. Almost like a black bean relish or something. I bet it would have been yummier with some flat bread… maybe next time.
Funny fact, it isn't really a traditional Zulu dish, it's Italian sauce with a zulu name, but it still tastes awesome, and yours was pretty close by looks of it. If you were wondering how to pronounce nca, it's nt-ha, quite different to spelling
I actually thought it was an acronym. Haha… very different then the spelling. I’m looking up Zulu right now :)
Ha ha, no, and it needs a slight click with the tongue, southern African languages use clicks to make words, it can sound mesmerising.
That’s so cool! I quickly tried to pull it up on my phone to hear it pronounced but I couldn’t find anything. I bet it can sound a little hypnotic too. Do you speak the language?
Yeah a little, very little, my zulu is limited to counting, swearing, and asking if you are baking a cake, 😂. I learned counting and baking at school and my friends taught me to swear 🤬
Are you baking a cake? That’s flipped fantastic. Haha… I guess those are some of the most important things to know. I can’t even ask that yet in Spanish. Give me a minute and I’ll learn it.
I’m back! “Estas haciendos in pastel”. Are you baking a cake in espanol. Awesome!
