What is a Bunny Chow

Discover your weekend grub!

Bunny chow, or bunny for short, originated in Durban, a large city on South Africa's east coast. While there are several different origin stories, they all have one thing in common: white bread was the only bread available for Indian immigrants to eat their curries with. 

Bunny chow can be made with mutton curry, chicken curry, and beans. 

After the interior of the loaf has been scooped out and filled with curry, the hunk of removed bread is used for dipping. Often wrapped in newspaper, a quarter bunny chow is an inexpensive and filling lunch option—a curry on the go.

Though you might be tempted to eat the bunny chow with utensils, you would rather do so without any for the full experience.  As a scooper, regulars use an extra hunk of bread.
