"Bunny Chow" as a term pre-dates 1948; the Local history Museum in Durban has a reference from the early 1940s. I suggest that the Bania's preference for foods that had never touched meat was the source, as Kapitan's could serve a takeaway that was guaranteed meat free.
This article had a condiment stub and a condiment category assigned to it. It is not something which is added to a meal as a condiment is. It is a full dish. Hence the removalLoyola11:34, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I remember sitting on the curb with my feet in the gutter enjoying a Bunny Chow, outside of a ubiquitous Greek cafe in Pretoria, South Africa in the '70s. In those years it was a popular dish around the country, or at least in the cities.— Precedingunsigned comment added by41.243.74.196 (talk)18:59, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm inclined to say no. This article never describes this dish using the word 'sandwich', and none of its references use that word to describe it either (admittedly it was a quick skim of the book refs, for the web articles I could ctrl-F). The closest anything comes is theBBC Food article, which notes that Bunny Chow may be popular because "people ... are tired of having a cold sandwich", which seems to suggest that Bunny Chow is not a sandwich in comparison (or, it could be interpreted that it is a 'hot' sandwich, but the article never says directly). Seems to failWP:CATDEF.Antepenultimate (talk)22:19, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If a 'bread dishes' category were to be made, this would certainly be an appropriate addition. Most sources seem to generally describe it as 'street food' or a 'take away' food item, soCategory:Street food may be an option here. Several sources mentioned that it is almost exclusively sold as take-out or from street vendors.Antepenultimate (talk)23:00, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, done. The category is now populated, and I removed 'sandwiches' from this article. There's always room for debate with categories, but this seems a lot clearer to me.Grayfell (talk)01:59, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
