There’s a new ‘treat’ on the horizon of Woolies’ aisles, and South Africans are not sure how to feel about it. Is it innovative? A tradition none of us were aware of? Is it an unnatural creation or will it be the next favoured dish at a braai? Woolies’ ‘traditional hake sausages’ have sparked curiosity, and we’re all asking questions.

One Twitter user, @JohannBiermann1 indirectly created a space for online opinions after he dubbed the new product ‘hake wors.’

In response, Woolworths actually offered him the golden ticket to ‘hake wors’ city.

But Twitter users had to weigh in on the conversation.

Some people got a fright. 

Others didn’t even give the new fish dish the time of day.

People questioned where this tradition came from, pointing out the ‘traditional’ wording on the packaging. 

However, others were slightly intrigued. 

Some people asked for religious guidance. 

And some decided that it was worth a try. 

One user stated that it was not natural, and decided to investigate how real and dire the situation was. 

And others took a jab at another boerewors spin-off. 

Whatever the reasoning behind the creation, Woolworths may very well see the aisles empty soon. If not for the food’s appeal, then definitely for curiosity. Who knows, we may just see the ‘hake wors’ as the unofficial guest at our next Heritage Day braai.
