Wow, what a Trip! I still don’t know what time it is, the 7 hour time difference has me all screwed up, if anyone wants to chat at 3 am look for me! Here are a few pictures from the trip, Paris, London, South Africa, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
I Got the chance to try some cool foods like Kudu, Crocodile, Impala, Hemsbock, Warthog and Ostrich and none of em tasted like chicken!
Although the elusive Nando’s Peri Peril sauce eluded my searching, I did manage to pick up some cool sauces to bring home. I was a little worried about them getting home unbroken in my checked luggage, but they all made it unscathed! It was a little hairy once in Africa (where they allow liquids in your carry on) and I had 8 bottles of Iafrica sauce in my bag. You see they have wires wrapped around the necks of the bottles and I suppose that 8 of them in a bag might look something like a bomb in an x ray! I went under a little closer examination in Zambia!
When I checked my bags for the trip home, I kept waiting for the call to clear the terminal as they checked my bag through, but it never came!
I wound up bringing back:
Mrs Balls Chilli Chutney
Burchell’s Peri Peri
Burchell’s Kali Kali
Elephant Pepper Zambezi Red
Elephant Pepper Baobab Gold
Nando’s Hot Sweet peri peri
Afrique Peri Peri
Afrique Chilli Sauce
Ukuva iAfrica Malawi Gold
Ukuva iAfrica Zulu Fire Sauce
Ukuva iAfrica Mombassa Peri-Peri
Ukuva iAfrica Swazi Mamma Mamba
I will do reviews of them as I get to trying them,
Ed

It gives a new meaning to the word ‘falsies”. LOL!
Awesome photo’s Ed!
So I see you get to pet the animals before you eat them, that’s pretty cool! LOL
From what you told me that was 3 weeks of pure Non-Stop Adventure…… looks like it too.
Perhaps we should just start calling you Indiana Rome’s!
Glad you made it back Safely.
Kinda makes me wonder if eating lots of Black Mamba (the sauce) keeps you safe from the Black Mamba (the snake). This comment works just as well in reverse!
one morning we found a puff adder, a small black poisounous snake, sleeping outside the door of the hotel room!

Any relation to Puff Daddy?
Seriously, that’s very cool. I would have broken out my best Steve Irwin for the occasion.

I thought of a REALLY bad joke regarding this, but unlike the usual, I’ll refrain this time around.

maybe it could have been like…
you would have been doing all of us a favor if you had eaten both. they are both poisonous to humaans somehow. puff for noise pollution and the snake for the venom.
Looks like you had a awesome trip Ed, glad you made it back in one piece.
Peri Happy you had a great trip
Africa is really a beautiful and an amazing continent.
Looking forward to discussing your trip with you

Glad to have you back Ed. Pics are awsome. What a trip it must have been. By the way, Ed makes the BEST BBQ sauce I ever tasted! Anyone else lucky enough to have bought some from Ed? It’s amazing
