About this episode

The episode discusses unique local products that people feel cannot be replaced by alternatives.

Last week on Open Line, a caller Lukhanyo from Northriding phoned Anele looking for one thing and one thing only: Tomato Sausage. Not just any sausage. Tomato Sausage which is sold in East London. It got us thinking about those products that simply can't be replaced. You know the ones. People tell you, "Just get something similar," but it's never quite the same. For some people it's a Shamrock Pie. For Frankie, it's Oros. For Anele, it's asking for Sprite and being handed lemonade instead. So what's your Tomato Sausage? That one thing you can only get from a specific place, brand, restaurant, or shop and every alternative just feels like a downgrade?
