I'm eating around the world without leaving London and this week I had South African food at Bunnychow. Bunnychow doesn't sell rabbit stews or anything containing bunnies at all. Bunnies at Bunnychow are bready bowls. Kind of like a sandwich, but different.
They recently opened up shop in Soho after roaming the UK in a truck, selling bunnies at festivals and other outdoor events.
Bunny Chow is very much a fast food type place, great before or after a boozy Soho night out. There is a choice of several bunny fillings such as spicy chicken and pulled pork and there is even a breakfast bunny English style.
I had a wholemeal bunny filled with meatballs and a tomato sauce topped with lots of coriander and crunchy peppers. I don't think my bunny is on their menu anymore, but judging by their brand new menu, I'll have to go back very very soon.
Interesting! I didn't know about this place - will have to try it. I had bunny chow in South Africa (wrote a blog post about it as well!) but it started off as a quick lunch for Indian workers (so a bread bowl full of curry). The meatball variation sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteAh. Great to know. It seems there's quite a bit of history behind it.
DeleteWas the bread nice?
ReplyDeleteYeah the bread was good too! :-)
DeleteI really want to try this place next time I'm in London. I had a bread bowl in Iceland and loved such a simple novelty!
ReplyDeleteIt is quite yummie!!
DeleteGreat your post.I love everything.Bunny Chow is a South African fast food dish comprising of a bread chunk loaded with meat curry. This formulas makes utilization of chicken.Bunny chow was made in 1940s Durban, South Africa, as a route for settler Indian estate specialists (who were regularly banned from specific bistros amid the politically-sanctioned racial segregation time) to convey their food to the fields. Thanks all!!

It's a dish with a lot of history, it seems.
