WHAT’S COOKING: Chipolatas and mash — they’re bangers, but smaller
Pork chipolatas – essentially they’re baby pork bangers even though they’re never called that – can be a fun alternative to conventional bangers for this family favourite.
Pork chipolatas, also known as baby pork bangers, are a smaller alternative to traditional bangers. They can be found in local butchers like De Wilge in Cradock. Chipolatas are typically made of minced pork, salt, and various herbs and spices. Although the name "chipolata" may suggest an onion component, there is no onion in the sausage itself.
The term has French origins, likely derived from "cipolla", the Italian word for onion. Historically, chipolatas have been a popular choice during family gatherings and outdoor dining in the Karoo region.
