2019, Gregory Mthembu-Salter, Wanted Dead and Alive: The Case for South Africa's Cattle, Cover2Cover (face2face), page 48, The poet Antjie Krog has written evocatively about boerewors as the physical manifestation of a well-run farm, with the patriarch and his men raising and providing good-quality meat and the matriarch, armed with a prized, secret family recipe, organising her kitchen staff into the production line required to make the perfect wors.
In the halcyon^([sic]) of sausages, if there were such a thing, boerewors would likely be crown prince.
2016, Michael Reid, M: A 24 Hour Cookbook, Bloomsbury Publishing (Absolute Press), page 175:To make truly authentic boerewors you'll need a sausage stuffer and casings.
