NFL Football Season is Back
For months, as COVID-19 ravaged the plans and schedules of other sports leagues around the world, the NFL insisted it would be able to start its 2020 season on time. And it has!
Of course, there have been some adjustments to get used to – sporadic or no fans in the stands, less crowded sidelines, a handful of missing players who chose to opt-out of the new season, and most notably – social justice will be highlighted throughout the games.
But football is football and we are very happy it is back!
So why not stock up on some of your favorite South African snacks to eat while you enjoy your Sunday watching some football. We have our famous Biltong, Chili Bites, Dry Wors, Bakers Salticrax, Ouma Rusks and Bakers Cream Crackers. A fab family treat – Flings!
October 1 is International Coffee Day
So, where did coffee come from and how did it become so popular?
According to legend, a sixth-century Ethiopian goatherd named Kaldi discovered his goats frolicking from one coffee shrub to another. He realized the coffee berries had a stimulating effect, and he began to experiment with the seeds. A century later, brewed coffee emerged in Arabia and the popularity of coffee grew at an exponential rate.
Here at Eat Sum More, we have a wide selection of South African coffees for your drinking pleasure – Koffiehuis Medium Roast Coffee, Frisco Original Coffee, Nestle Ricoffy. Not to forget our tea drinkers try our Rooibos Red Espresso.
