Reading the signs (in northern Namibia: #7 in series)

In northern Namibia – and just about anywhere else in Southern Africa – the pictured takeaway food outlet’s “alarming” sign would cause no unease whatsoever, nor would its meaning be unclear.

”Russians” – with or without chips – have long been a great favourite of southern Africans, whether “dining out” or “cooking up” in their own homes.

The relevant “Russians” are a sausage!

These Russians have an interesting, somewhat-mysterious history, which is well-told here.
