How did this wonderful dish come to life?

Stories that have been told suggests that workers of the sugar cane plantations in Kwazulu-Natal need a way to carry their lunch to the field, a hollowed out loaf of white bread was really convenient, since traditional roti was weak and white bread was widely available.
