Bunny Chow
Bunny chow is a hollowed out loaf of bread filled with curry, meant to be eaten by tearing off pieces of the bread itself to scoop up the filling.
Where it comes from
Indian workers in Durban, South Africa are credited with the dish, needing a portable way to carry curry without plates during segregation era restrictions on where they could eat, though the exact account is debated.
What cooks argue about
The live argument is bread choice and hollowing depth: a thicker bread wall holds the curry longer without soaking through, while a thinner wall gives more curry per bite but risks a soggy collapse.
