Ottneil Baartman, South African cricketer from Oudtshoorn, sticks to a classic: “Pap with a wors stew is my favourite,” he tells us with a smile.

Try bobotie, a tasty casserole of minced beef or lamb, raisins, almonds and curry powder topped with egg custard; or waterblommetjie bredie, a stew made with lamb and the flowers of water lilies.
