After numerous attempts at creating his favourite dish – tinned pilchards – Tito Mboweni has tried his hand at creating another South African delicacy; trotters.
The former minister of finance loves to experiment in the kitchen and share his culinary adventures on his Twitter account.
But did the amateur chef completely ruin the dish?.

TITO MBOWENI’S VERSION OF TROTTERS
Over the weekend, Tito Mboweni shared his plans to prepare trotters – the name given of the meat of pig’s feet.
Sharing a pic of the meat ready to cook in his pot, he tweeted: “The process is beginning! Crossed fingers”.

But while his Twitter followers expected him to add a mountain of tomatoes, onion and garlic, this time Tito added nothing instead!
Updating his followers, Tito shared a pic of the meat completely burnt in the pot.
He captioned it: “Some amongst us will call this attempt a gemors! [disaster]”
ROTTEN MEAT, ANYONE?
Tito Mboweni’s not-so terrific trotters come days after he was accused of cooking rotten meat.
It all began when Tito revealed his plans to “cook up a storm” one evening.
But halfway into the task, the home of the former Reserve Bank Governor was hit by a bout of load shedding, forcing him to postpone his cooking session.

Fast forward more than 16 hours later, and Tito shared an update that his electricity had finally resumed. He also excitedly revealed he was ready to resume cooking – with said suspicious meat pieces included.
Concerned that another outage may affect his cooking, Tito decided to quickly put together a side dish to his lamb curry/stew – a packet of spaghetti – which he boiled in a frying pan!
While Tito Mboweni’s cooking raised a series of red flags and questions over his competence amongst his Twitter followers, the main concern was clearly over the quality of his meat.
And as Tito has yet to tweet a product of his “end product,” many tweeps made light of claims that he had fallen ill as a result.
Nothing critical about that, unless you were admitted at Bara hospital

Media personality Redi Tlhabi jumped in, adding: “You see what happens when you subject your stomach to late night eating and strange concoctions that you call ‘stew?’ Your tummy and eyes end up not seeing the difference between fresh and rotting meat.”
