Pronounced ba-boor-tea, the national dish of South Africa is a delicious mixture of curried meat and fruit with a creamy golden topping, not dissimilar to moussaka. Bobotie is somehow associated with Meatloaf due to it's similar cooking method. It starts off by sauteing the minced meat along with the spices and veggies, then finishes off in the oven. The sauteed savory minced meat complements the custardy milky toppings well. Although not too spicy, this version of bobotie here has some kick to it.
