Spatlo
Appearance
Spatlo (also spelled sphatlo, spathlo and sphatlho) also known as a kota or a skhambane is a South African sandwich popular in all Provinces of South Africa including Gauteng and the Free State. It is made from a hollowed out quarter loaf of bread, filled with a variety of ingredients, often chips, cheese, polony and atchar.[1] The name kota, used in such areas as Soweto and Johannesburg, is derived from the English quarter, referring to the bread loaf.[2] As such, the term may apply to any dish using a quarter loaf of bread, such as bunny chow.
