"Not a great fan of this dish, I chose it as something easy to take along to a choir supper. Doubled the recipe which made HEAPS. A bit long winded, but well worth the trouble. Excellent result, very mellow take, and enjoyed by none chilli eaters and chilli eaters too. Even survived travel in my car down a very steep and twisty hill. Certainly my ONLY chilli recipe from now on. "

"I was in a hurry and no time to let the mash cool down. Big mistake for despite leaving the fishcakes to cool, they were too soft. Also had no dill and used parsley. However they were very nice despite being soft and squashy. I just fried up some potatoes and served with homemade coleslaw and grren salad. We scoffted the lot and did not feel too full afterwards."

"Hmmmmmmmm rhubarb and custard hey. Nothing new here, try adding a little orange peel and or some ginger too. I've been 'roasting' my rhubarb for years. But I am glad someone has revived it and thought to rename it too."

"Sorry thought I had left a comment earlier. Large dish - lasted two days. Kept well. Did not have all spice berries and left them out - used ordinary curry powder and brown bread. Missed using almonds but no need to worry as bags of flavour anyway. Have been making this for years and found this sweeter and more moist than my usual recipe. Enjoyed the yellow rice and tomato and onion too. My 24 year old daughter described it as "fancy food' and my husband thought it was a bit sweet - but I loved it and ate all the remains alone next day with a green salad - a felt wicked!!"

"I have been cooking Bobotie for years so was interested to see how this would turn out. It was a large dish and very tasty indeed. I did not have allspice berries and left them out. I missed having almonds layered over the top of the meat but it made no difference in the end. The tomato and onion salad, and yellow rice were perfect partners."
