Talk:Boerewors

Sausage Neutrality
I do wonder why this page has to be only about the "Boerewors" as many sausages with different names are essentially the same. Why cant this be just a part of the Sausage page or a page dedicated to these kind of sausages, i feel it is just wrong to call the page "Boerewors" ignoring all the other sausages essentially the same, and considering making the page less biased to the afrikaner sausage.

Example:


 * Fresh Sausages
 * Fresh sausages are sausages based on the Proto Indo European Sausage


 * These days, there are different kind of these sausages:
 * Afrikaner "Boerewors"
 * Insert Descripion
 * Dutch "Verse Worst"
 * Insert Descripion
 * French "insert French freshsausage name here"
 * Insert Descripion

Spice
A friend of mine who was down in RSA tried it & loved it, but he hazarded the guess it might be hard to reproduce here in Europe - even though we're close to the Dutch border and verse worst might be an option - due to the absence of a characteristic herb or spice. He identified it as "hyssop or something very similar"; we studied biology together and he's enough of a botanist for that ID to be correct - if he had seen the spice in its natural state. Which he hasn't; it may all too well be that it is some other Lamiaceae though, as their aroma-giving compounds tend to be similar and peculiar (think sage, mint, thyme, oregano, lemon balm etc).

Soooo... what is that special herb that gives the true boerewors its unique kick (no pun intended)? Dysmorodrepanis (talk) 23:44, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Footnote?
Is the footnote at the bottom of the page just anti-wikipedia spam? I don't want to remove it (partly because i don't know how to do it, but i thought i should signal it somewhere —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.107.151.140 (talk) 18:43, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Singular?
I'm not sure what the "singular" in brackets at the begining of the article is about. In English, just as in Afrikaans, boerewors does not have a plural form. One speaks of "pieces of boerewors" (Eng) or "stukke Boerewors" (Af) because there is no plural form. I don't know the correct term for this - mass noun perhaps? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Booshank (talk • contribs) 00:38, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
