And sometimes, in posh restaurants, there is the occasional fusion dish - not the
common merger of east and west, but north and south: marinated ostrich carpaccio at
Sage in Pretoria, oxtail ravioli with saffron cream sauce at Bartholomeus Klip in
Hermon on the Cape west coast, even Tandoori crocodile at the Pavilion in the
Marine hotel in Hermanus.
