WATCH: Hedgehog or tripe? Local boy's hilarious mix-up has us in stitches
We all have that one meal we just can’t eat…
Is there a dish that makes your stomach turn? Maybe it's chicken feet or even just humble lamb chops?
Well, we have a story for you!
Taking to TikTok recently, a local mom tried to introduce her young son to tripe, but here’s the twist - he mistook the meal for a hedgehog!
The short clip made its rounds on the video-sharing app and had locals laughing their socks off.
The clip starts with a wide-eyed and curious little one, tripe in front of him, exclaiming: "Mommy, this hedgehog is disgusting!"
He begins poking at the tripe, pretending it's the spines of a hedgehog, saying: "But it's prickly, you see? Ow! It's hurting me.”
This playful exchange had South Africans questioning if we even have hedgehogs in SA!
Take a look at the adorable clip below:

Tripe has long been a source of curiosity and debate in Mzansi. The younger generation finds its unique texture and flavour challenging to embrace.
