South Africans are at it again, providing us with endless hours of entertainment on Twitter! This time it's all about bobotie.

There's been much debate over the last few hours over whether bobotie is South Africa's national dish.
It's one of those dishes you either love or hate!
But what's undeniable is that bobotie is a truly South African dish and cannot be found anywhere else.
It's a dish consisting of sweet and spiced mince baked with an egg topping.
It's said to be a dish that originated in Indonesia, so as to whether it's our national dish, well we'll let you decide!
Bobotie is our national dish and you wonder why we're going through so much as a country. https://t.co/DaGdiFvVDf
