Shrewsbury - Jabulani South African Foods

Since writing this post, this shop is no longer trading at this address.
Where else but Shrewsbury can you walk out of a shop selling French food straight into a half-timbered shop selling South African food!

In Jabulani South African Foods there's lots of of foods I've never even heard, but Lizette Coetzee (the owner) is very friendly and will give help and advice if you need it.

You can buy biltong (with or without peri peri):
and packets of South African soups like Chakalaka soup (which seemed quite mild when we started drinking it, but got hotter later! You can make your own traditional Bobotie (the national dish of South Africa?) or Tomato Bredie.
I wasn't convinced that my family was ready for the Monkey Gland Sauce (an exotic blend of oriental fruits and aromatic spices) on sale here, even when I found it didn't contain any monkey parts! The best explanation for it's name I've found is here.
You can also buy frozen Boerewors and other South African Specialities.

There's some selected South African drinks and fruit balls to finish off your South African meal.
